Fairbanks synthesizes the latest thinking on process, lifecycle, architecture, modeling,
and quality of service into a coherent framework that is of immediate applicability to
IT applications. Fairbanks’ writing is exceptionally clear and precise while remaining
engaging and highly readable. Just Enough Software Architecture is an important con-
tribution to the IT application architecture literature and may well become a standard
reference work for enterprise application architects.
—Dr. Ian Maung, Senior VP of Enterprise Architecture at Citigroup
and former Director of Enterprise Architecture at Covance
This book directly tackles some key needs of software practitioners who seek
that blend of tools to help them create more effective systems, more effectively.
George reaches frequently into his own experience, combining important ideas from
academia to provide a conceptual model, selected best practices from industry to
broaden coverage, and pragmatic guidance to make software architectures that are
ultimately more useful and realistic. His simple risk-based approach frames much of
the book and helps calibrate what “just-enough” should be. This book is an important
addition to any software architecture bookshelf.
—Desmond D’Souza, Author of MAp and Catalysis, Kinetium, Inc.
This book shows how software architecture helps you build software instead of dis-
tracting from the job; the book lets you identify and address only those critical archi-
tectural concerns that would otherwise prevent you from writing code.
—Dr. Kevin Bierhoff, professional software engineer
System and software developers questioning why and where about software archi-
tecture will appreciate the clear arguments and enlightening analogies this book
presents; developers struggling with when and how to do architecture will discover
just-enough guidance, along with concepts and ideas that clarify, empower, and lib-
erate. All in all, this book is easy to read, concise, yet rich with references — a
well-architected and finely-designed book!
—Dr. Shang-Wen Cheng, flight software engineer
