SAFE House proudly presents a sneak preview
of the book that is being
prepared for the publication with the major publishing house (in the
dead-tree version). Book aims to consolidate and present in accessible,
yet uncompromising fashion the main body of knowledge, best practices, and
toolset of the Software Architect.
Selected chapters and snippets from the 'SAFE Book' will be
posted on this website (in the environmentally-friendly version) as
research and work on the book progresses, for the browsing and downloading
pleasure of fellows IT practitioners.
Book is very much work-in-progress at the moment. If you liked what you saw, come back and visit this page again to check for updates. Then again, if you did
not like the content, come back later to find something that you do.
Either way, let us know.
Book is a journey. We are going to learn, and to have fun doing this. Have a nice trip...
