Software Design provides a balanced view of the many and varied software design methodologies most widely used by practitioners. The book provides a general overview of software design within the context of software development and also of more general thinking about design issues. The third edition will be expanded and restructured to focus on the structure and process aspects of software design, including architectural issues, as well as design notations and models. It will also cover ways of producing structure such as plan-driven development, agile approaches, patterns, product lines, and other forms.
DNF; was looking for a book that'd run me through different software design techniques and patterns, however this one reads too academic and over halfway in, it still didn't feel like I'm getting anything practical out of it
