Muhammad Saif’s Reviews > Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture > Status Update

The book is organized in two parts: 1) Narratives—a general topics in software architecture. 2) Patterns—a format-based discussion and more details about problem & solution.

However, they say that the first part is intended to be read from start to finish, but after two chapters, I figured out it's difficult without a lot of back and forth to the patterns part or reading online materials.
