97 things

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I came across this site which has a lot of great information: 97 Things Every Software Architect should know.  I particularly like this quote from Michael Nygard’s advice in Skyscrapers aren’t scalable:

We often hear software engineering compared to building skyscrapers, dams, or roads. It’s true in some important aspects.  The hardest part of civil engineering isn’t designing a building that will stand up once it is finished, but figuring out the construction process.

Lots of great stuff for software engineers in general.
