Software Architecture Fundamentals 2nd Edition: Introduction, Laws of Software Architecture

Mark Richards, Neal Ford, Raju Gandhi Season 2 Episode 1

In this episode, we start our chapter-by-chapter exploration of Software Architecture Fundamentals 2nd Edition. We discuss our (updated) definition of software architecture. While we were writing the first edition, we kept our eyes open for things that seems universally true; we hoped to find about 10, but we ended up with two in the first edition. For the second edition, we added a third law after some insights in the intervening years. In this episode of the podcast, we cover all three laws and how they apply to the remainder of the book.
