Harness the Power of the Multi-Dimensional Coupling Model as a Tool for Architecting Modular, Evolvable Software Systems
In this definitive guide, Vlad Khononov introduces a novel approach to designing modular software systems that turns coupling into a powerful design tool.
Software, like all systems, is composed of components that interact to form the system itself. Coupling is the metric used to represent the interdependence between connected components, and the magnitude of coupling ultimately affects the adaptability and success of the software system. Balancing Coupling in Software Design surveys existing methods of evaluating coupling and combines them into a comprehensive model for making design decisions that manage complexity while increasing the modularity of your software system.
Coupling is everywhere in software development. Whatever your job level or title, whether you are writing a function, designing an object model, or architecting distributed systems, this book is for you.
The principles discussed in Balancing Coupling in Software Design are ubiquitously relevant in software engineering and will transform the way you think about software design.
