Balancing Coupling in Software Design: Universal Design Principles for Architecting Modular Software Systems (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Vernon)) 1st Edition

Learn How Coupling Impacts Every Software Design Decision You Make--and How to Control It

If you want to build modular, evolvable, and resilient software systems, you have to get coupling right. Every design decision you make influences coupling, which in turn shapes the design options available to you. Despite its importance, coupling often doesn't receive the attention it deserves--until now.

Since the dawn of software engineering, it's been clear that proper management of coupling is essential for architecting modular software systems. This topic has been extensively researched over the years, but some of that knowledge has been forgotten, and some of it is challenging to apply in this day and age.
