System Architecture

There are no easy decisions in software architecture. Instead, there are many hard parts—difficult problems or issues with no best practices—that force you to choose among various compromises. With this book, you'll learn how to think critically about the trade-offs involved with distributed architectures. Architecture veterans and practicing consultants Neal Ford, Mark Richards, Pramod Sadalage, and Zhamak Dehghani discuss strategies for choosing an appropriate architecture.

Secrets of Arranging presents arranging as a system of intentional decisions built around the emotional and structural needs of the song itself. Building on the principles introduced in Secrets of Songwriting, this book explores how melody and harmony create the foundation of an arrangement, and how rhythm, instrumentation, texture, dynamics, and contrast exist to support that foundation.

Technology has gradually transitioned from wired to wireless over the years with tons of benefits. From the internet of things to wireless communication, we are all witnesses of the huge benefits of wireless technologies. This audiobook covers various subjects and highlights both the benefits and challenges of wireless technologies.
