  • Chapter 11: Leftovers!
    Apr 17 2025

    Head First books by their nature cannot cover as much material as conventional books, especially for such a broad topic as software architecture. Thus, the "Leftovers" chapter was born--several important topics that we just didn't have room to cover in the book. In this episode of the podcast, we cover the Head First Software Architecture "Leftovers" and sum up our last thoughts on the book.

  • Chapter 10. Event-driven Architectures
    Mar 13 2025

    Continuing our exploration of distributed architectures, our next architecture style is event-driven architecture, one of the few styles that can also double as a communication pattern. We discuss what makes an architecture event-driven versus microservices, and discuss why architects might choose this style for certain classes of problems ill suited to other styles. And, as always, we cover both the super powers and kryptonite for this style.
