"Beautiful Architecture" is now available in print
You can now buy the print edition of "Beautiful Architecture" from O'Reily's site. Amazon still has the book on pre-order.
I've already finished Chapters 1,2,6 and 8 but had no time to blog about them. Up to this point the most interesting is #6, The Architecture of the Facebook Platform by Dave Fetterman. Fetterman describes how Facebook managed to expose its data to external applications, integrate those applications inside Facebook while preserving privacy and security. Notice the emphasis on data, not process or workflows. But more of this on my next post.
