[名家名著] 34 軟體設計耦合的平衡之道：建構模組化軟體系統的通用設計原則 Balancing Coupling in Software Design: Universal Design Principles for Architecting Modular Software Systems ♛　Vaughn Vernon Signature Series系列叢書　♛ 理解耦合對軟體設計決策的影響──然後駕馭它！ 如果你想打造模組化、可演進和具備高韌性的軟體系統，就必須設計出正確的耦合關係。你做的每一個設計決策都會影響耦合，而它們會回過頭來影響你將來可用的設計選項。然而，直到這本書出現之前，耦合很少得到應有的重視。 打從軟體工程的開天闢地之初，人們就發現，若要建構模組化軟體系統，正確的耦合管理就是非常重要的一件事。這個主題多年來被廣泛研究過，但有些知識已遭遺忘，有些則難以套用在當今的開發環境。作者根據他自身累積的知識，打造一個通用模型，甚至針對現代軟體工程的慣例來量身調整，替模組化軟體設計帶來令人耳目一新的觀點。 透過清楚說明這些原則與實踐，作者將引導你釐清耦合的多維度特性，並示範如何讓耦合成為強大的設計工具，以有效管理軟體複雜性、提高模組化程度。本書說不定會顛覆你對軟體設計的全面認知！ ❑ 內容亮點 ☑︎定義耦合的概念，以及它在系統設計與系統架構中扮演的角色 ☑︎解釋耦合為何會增加系統複雜性，但亦能促進模組化程度 ☑︎介紹一個整體模型，將耦合變成設計模組化軟體的工具 ☑︎展示如何演進設計決策，來支援軟體系統的持續成長 ☑︎以基於真實使用案例的詳細範例示範書內討論的原則

Jarvis revisits his beloved, sometimes befuddled, duo in a fifth set of stories where gentle mix-ups and genuine friendship abound.Bear and Bird may not always understand each other, but they both want nothing more than for their best friend to be happy. So when they each find today’s date circled in red, they obviously assume it’s the other one’s birthday (so sorry, Snail!). And when Bird puts her pal through his paces—to prove he’s himself and not his look-alike cousin—she finds a sweet way to soothe an unhappy Bear when the test is done. Whether it’s Bird bravely helping Bear to retrieve a ball from a cave full of stinky goo (or so they’ve heard) or both of them putting their faith in a flying umbrella when Bird blithely removes the candy trail meant to lead them home, Jarvis’s subtle humor and sweet illustrations create a charming world that young readers are eager to come back to.
