This page contains an annotated bibliography on enterprise integration and related subjects. I organized the books into four categories to make navigation and printing easier. Click on the image or the book title to see more details about the book on Amazon. I own 95% of the books listed here and have read all of the good ones :-) I hope you find my advice useful in selecting the right book.

Software Architecture

Such an important area and so few book recommendations. I am simply behind in my reading...


	Software Architecture: Perspectives on an Emerging Discipline Mary Shaw, Garlan David Prentice Hall, 1996


	Software Architecture in Practice, 2nd Edition Len Bass, Paul Clements, Rick Kazman Addison-Wesley, 2003
	Part of a whole series on architecture from the SEI. Generally, these books are very throrough, but for my taste too many examples and case studies are pulled from military projects or embedded systems. These types of systems typically lend themselves to a very rigorous top-down architecture and design approach, unlike today's business applications that are all about changing requirements.
