CPSC-5200-01 Software Architecture and Design Outside Reading List

This is just a list of architecture and design books that are generally useful to have on your bookshelf. Most are recent, some are starting to show their age, and some are good for their historical perspective. I'll lump them into groups, but sometimes there are interesting intersections.

Quick note: Searching Amazon by ISBN isn't always possible. Use the full title name and author to narrow down your search if the ISBN results don't make sense.

Software Architecture Patterns and Styles

This collection covers a number of reference books for understanding the generic styles and patterns of software architecture. The POSA books comprise a reasonably thorough overview of the patterns you will run across in the wild, so the list starts with them.

Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, A System of Patterns vol. 1
A System of Patterns
Buschmann, Frank et. al.
ISBN: 0471958697

Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, A System of Patterns vol. 2
Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects
This book contains patterns related to service access and configuration, event handling, synchronization, and concurrency.
Schmidt, Douglas C. et. al.
ISBN: 0470059028

Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, A System of Patterns vol. 3

Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, A System of Patterns vol. 4
A Pattern Language for Distributed Computing
This book adds to the patterns that I discuss in Parts III and IV of this book, providing patterns related to the technical aspects of distributed systems. The patterns in this volume create a pattern language.

Just some other general stuff you might want

The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master
Hunt, Andrew

Programming Pearls (2nd Ed.)
Bentley, Jon

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (1st ed.)
Abelson, Harold
This is the book to start programming with, which is unfortunate because you've all started out the wrong way. But read this anyway. The first edition is much better in my opinion, but get either. This is available online and in print.

The Algorithm Design Manual 2nd Edition
Skiena, Steven
Get a book on algorithms and algorithm design and read it.

Introduction to Algorithms, 3rd Edition
Cormen, Thomas

The Art of Computer Programming, Volumes 1-4A Boxed Set
Knuth, Donald
This is the classic series on algorithm design. Buy it, read it, read it again.

The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4B, Fascicle 5: Mathematical Preliminaries Redux; Introduction to Backtracking; Dancing Links
Knuth, Donald

The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4, Fascicle 6: Satisfiability
Knuth, Donald

The MMIX Supplement: Supplement to The Art of Computer Programming Volumes 1, 2, 3 Ruckert, Martin

The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition
Norman, Don
This one isn't a computing text at all. It's a short book that talks about design and why the human being who uses your product is so important

Hacker's Delight
Warren, Henry

Elements of Programming
Stepanov, Alexander
This will be the hardest book you read from this list. But read it.

Seven Languages in Seven Weeks: A Pragmatic Guide to Learning Programming Languages
Tate, Bruce

Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks: Languages That Are Shaping the Future
Tate, Bruce

The Haskell School of Music: From Signals to Symphonies
Hudak, Paul and Quick, Donya
Some light reading on building a type system from the ground up to support musical composition.

Networking

Computer Networks, 5th ed
Tanenbaum, Andrew
There are a number of editions of this book. I do not have a copy of the international edition. It's supposed to be identical the US hardcover edition. This book is expensive, see if you can get it on the used market. I have a 1st edition of this text and it still holds up at the lower layers in the ISO model.

The following three books are a series that walks from the bottom of the TCP/IP stack up through current application protocols. Do the coding exercises in them to get an undersatnding how the underlying networking software works. Plus, it's fun to write code in C that fiddles with the bits.

TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol. 1: The Protocols
Addison-Wesley
Stevens, W. Richard and Fall, Kevin R.

TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2: The Implementation
Addison-Wesley
Stevens, W. Richard and Wright, Gary

TCP/IP Illustrated: v. 3: TCP for Transactions, HTTP, NNTP and the Unix Domain Protocols
Addison-Wesley
Stevens, W. Richard

Unix Network Programming, Volume 1: The Sockets Networking API
Addison-Wesley
Stevens, W. Richard
