# Awesome Software Architecture Books
|
||||
|
||||
A curated list of books on, or relevant to, Software Architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
People in the software industry have long argued about a definition of architecture. Ralph Johnson famously defined
|
||||
software architecture as "the important stuff (whatever that is)." I, subjectively, followed his definition while
|
||||
deciding whether or not to include a specific book.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## How did I make this?
|
||||
|
||||
I thoroughly reviewed all books
|
||||
[tagged with software-architecture](https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/software-architecture) on Goodreads and picked
|
||||
the best objectively—see the selection criteria below. I don't think, by any means, this list is comprehensive. Yet, I'm
|
||||
planning to update it regularly to make it as comprehensive as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inclusion criteria
|
||||
|
||||
- The book must be relevant to Software Architecture; and
|
||||
- The content is not obsolete.
|
||||
- It must be technology agnostic or applicable to a wide range of technologies; and
|
||||
- The book profile on Goodreads matches these rules:
|
||||
- An average rating of 3.5 or above; and
|
||||
- A total number of ratings equals 50 or above.
|
||||
- At least 5 written reviews.
|
||||
- A minimum length of 50 pages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sorting criteria
|
||||
|
||||
The books are sorted solely based on the number of written reviews. There are, however, other important factors worth
|
||||
considering. For example, the average rating, the number of ratings, and the publishing date. Yet, I don't have an idea
|
||||
to put all these factors in a reasonable mathematical formula. If you have
|
||||
any, [I'd love to hear](https://github.com/mhadidg/software-architecture-books/issues/new) what you've got in mind.
