Aspiring and existing architects alike will examine architectural characteristics, architectural patterns, component determination, diagramming and presenting architecture, evolutionary architecture, and many other topics.Mark Richards and Neal Fordhands-on practitioners who have taught software architecture classes professionally for yearsfocus on architecture principles that apply across all technology stacks. Youll explore software architecture in a modern light, taking into account all the innovations of the past decade.This book examines:Architecture patterns: The technical basis for many architectural decisionsComponents: Identification, coupling, cohesion, partitioning, and granularitySoft skills: Effective team management, meetings, negotiation, presentations, and moreModernity: Engineering practices and operational approaches that have changed radically in the past few yearsArchitecture as an engineering discipline: Repeatable results, metrics, and concrete valuations that add rigor to software architecture

The essential guidebook to walking the 84-mile Hadrian's Wall Path. One of the UK's most visited National Trails, it runs the length of the Roman Wall from Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria to Wallsend, Newcastle. The trail is presented here in 10 stages, with suggestions for five and eight-day itineraries. It is suitable for beginners, although a reasonable level of fitness is required if doing it as a multi-day walk. The route is described both west to east and east to west, and the guidebook also features extensions to Maryport on the far west coast of Cumbria and to South Shields on the east coast. This full-colour guidebook contains a wealth of information on the history of the Wall, and a range of practical information for walkers, from accommodation and itinerary planning, to details on public transport and refreshments. A separate map booklet of 1:25,000 scale OS maps shows the full route. Clear step-by-step route descriptions in the guide are illustrated by 1:100,000 OS map extracts. The route description links together with the map booklet at each stage along the way, and the compact format is conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket or the top of a rucksack.

What is your ultimate goal in life? To own a home, a comfortable car, settle your kids, get a farm at the countryside and enjoy your early retirement? This goal is pretty common for almost 80% of people living in this planet with a hope to retire like a pro and cherish what life has bestowed to them. But the sad truth is that not many are able to fulfill their dream of retiring early in life. In most of the first world countries, the average retirement age of an individual is 55 and in developing countries the retirement age of an individual is actually 65. In an average lifespan of about 65-70 years if you retire at the age of 55 or 65 then what else other than health issues you will have in your retirement? This fact is the ultimate reason that pushed me to write this book for others like me who aspire to retire at their 40's. Be it 41 or 49, retiring at 40's is a sheer bliss. With your financials well planned, your health is in check also with a life partner to spend the happy days, your retirement can be happier if you follow the real-time advise I have provided in this book. I retired at my mid-forties and I am in my sixties today enjoying a happy retirement. My friends, those whom I meet at a food joint or at the park suggest me to write my advice in the form of a book that may help many youngsters to plan a retirement idea which is practical.

After reading this book, you will understand the needs and motivations of your family, friends, spouse, employer, and children in a way that will allow you to change your life and theirs! How? As the evolutionary product of our planet, we are born with imprinted behavior patterns that were once crucial for survival. Today, these inherited behavior patterns remain strong, initiating most of our actions. Yet, they are often at odds with alternative behaviors that would better benefit us. The Revelation introduces mankind to Market Fences, a radical new form of anti-trust regulation that will improve man's collective marginal productivity so he can face the challenges of oil supply depletion, environmental pollution, poverty, disease, famine, and war with the necessary wealth and know-how to avoid an otherwise unavoidable population die-back. Your journey goes beyond an exploration of human brain evolution and our experience on planet Earth. You will discover how our economy really works, and read the Revelation's detailed explanation as to the origins of the Universe. These origins are all contained/revealed from mathematical concepts and principles, brought to us (humanity) for interpretation in the form of colorful 3 dimensional images, gas clouds actually. God is love. This abstract idea is contained in the images which are the inspiration for this book--along with the mathematical concepts necessary to prove that idea, namely, that asuper-consciousness exists, that it designed/created our universe to make evolution possible (Evolution=change, change is the opposite of complete determinism, the only alternative to the universal arrangement we are actually in). None of this contradicts the scientific principles of Newton, Einstein, the Uncertainty Principle, Chaos Theory, or the String Theory. In fact, for the physics inclined reader, it ties these theories together in the first ever presentation of a Unified Field Theory. This book also contains the Spiral Arm Galaxy Theory, one of the few alternative theories to The Big Bang Theory. We explain how Black Holes are related to the Universe we live in by the laws of physics. In fact, Black Holes are just "doors" into the "Singularity" from which we were created, and allow for the extrusion of the matter/energy that serves as the origin of every galaxy in our universe! The presence of a Singularity with a higher consciousness is a mathematical necessity, not an impossibility as currently thought by atheism.
