Book of the Week
Software Mistakes and Tradeoff
📕 Use the code "podengineered20" to get a 40% discount!
Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs teaches you how to make better decisions about designing, planning, and implementing applications. You’ll analyze real-world scenarios where the wrong tradeoff decisions were made, and discover what could have been done differently. The book lays out the pros and cons of different approaches and explores evergreen patterns that will always be relevant to software design.
You’ll understand the consequences of certain decisions, like how code duplication impacts the coupling and evolution speed of your systems and how simple-sounding requirements can have hidden nuances with respect to date and time information. Discover how to efficiently narrow your optimization scope according to 80/20 Pareto principles and ensure consistency in your distributed systems. You’ll soon be able to apply the author’s hard-won experience to your own projects to pre-empt mistakes and take a more thoughtful approach to decision making.
