Papers for software architecture / design

33 points by avrmav 8y ago ↗ HN

I am very much interested about software architecture, Design Patterns, Clean Code, OO concepts. I wanted to ask if there is an ongoing research in this kind of topics or are more or less fixed? Are there any new papers, lets say the last 5 years, that you would suggest to read?

In terms of books I have read, the GOF book, Clean Code, Clean Architecture, Pragmatic Programmer and even more, I am looking for fresh ideas.

Wish I could upvote this more.

In short: Complexity is the biggest killer. And here's a way to view it and tame it.

Out of my head, of relevant interest in the distributed systems field are the following books:

Designing Distributed Systems https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-distributed-s...

Building Evolutionary Architectures http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920080237.do

Building Microservices http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033158.do

They encompass most of the topics you've enumerated earlier.

Are there any one of those books that you would especially recommend? I have considered the Pragmatic Programmer - but is there more to it than what is implied in the title?
