"97 Things" represents a new kind of technical book. It's not about code; it's not about UML diagrams; and, it's about what really matters: the principles that the best software architects have pulled out of their experience. Benefit from their experience; find out what's really important. It's not always technology - in fact, it usually isn't. Communications with stakeholders, understanding requirements, eliminating complexity before it gets you tied up in knots - all of these trump technology issues. Many projects fail, but projects rarely fail because the developers chose to write in Python or Ruby or Java or C. Get into the mind of today's leading software architects! Find out what they think about when they're approaching a project. If you want to take your career in software development to the next level, this book is essential reading.
