Architectural Patterns

Is a general, reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software architecture within a given context. Architectural patterns are similar to software design pattern but have a broader scope.

  • Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) by Martin Fowler

Code Smells

A code smell is a surface indication that usually corresponds to a deeper problem in the system.

Database

A database is an organized collection of data. It is the collection of schemas, tables, queries, reports, views, and other objects.

  • SQL Indexing and Tuning by Markus Winand (Free web-edition)

Decomposing

Decomposition in computer science, also known as factoring, is breaking a complex problem or system into parts that are easier to conceive, understand, program, and maintain.

• Articles / Papers
  • On the Criteria To Be Used in Decomposing Systems into Modules by David Parnas

Domain-Driven Design

Domain-driven design (DDD) is an approach to developing software for complex needs by deeply connecting the implementation to an evolving model of the core business concepts.

Logging

In computing, a logfile is a file that records either events that occur in an operating system or other software runs, or messages between different users of a communication software. Logging is the act of keeping a log.

Object-Oriented Design

Object-Oriented Design is the process of planning a system of interacting objects for the purpose of solving a software problem.

Service-Oriented Architecture

A service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a style of software design where services are provided to the other components by application components, through a communication protocol over a network. The basic principles of service-oriented architecture are independent of vendors, products and technologies.

System Architectures

A system architecture is a conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and more views of a system. An architecture description is a formal description and representation of a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning about the structures and behaviors of the system.
