arc42 in Aktion
The missing manual for arc42: pragmatic, hands-on advice for useful, economical and maintainable architecture documentation, by Gernot Starke and Peter Hruschka.
arc42 in Aktion is the missing manual for arc42, the book we probably should have written years ago. It collects pragmatic, hands-on tips for architecture documentation: starting from the general foundations of good technical documentation, right through to concrete advice for every part of arc42.
What’s inside
- Practical guidance for creating documentation that is useful, economical and maintainable, not documentation for its own sake.
- Worked examples, including a substantial second example from the world of real-time and embedded systems.
- Expanded coverage of tooling, refined tips throughout, and a generally tidied-up, more complete treatment compared with earlier editions.
Who it is for
Anyone using arc42 in practice who wants to write less, communicate more, and keep their architecture documentation genuinely maintainable.
