Thorough, excellent writing

I bought this book because I needed the information for a project that I am currently engaged in. The information contained within was immediately relevant in shaping the solution design. It gave me the how and the why to architect a solid, yet flexible solution.

This text is not a how-to for a beginner. It is also not light reading. It is a dense book; lots of information crammed into it. You have to bring your experience to this book for the full weight of the teaching to come to bear. I highly recommend it to application architects and development team leads.
