Harness the Power of the Multi-Dimensional Coupling Model as a Tool for Architecting Modular, Evolvable Software Systems.

In this definitive guide, Vlad Khononov introduces a novel approach to designing modular software systems that turns coupling into a powerful design tool.

Software, like all systems, is composed of components that interact to form the system itself. Coupling is the metric used to represent the interdependence between connected components, and the magnitude of coupling ultimately affects the adaptability and success of the software system. Balancing Coupling in Software Design surveys existing methods of evaluating coupling and combines them into a comprehensive model for making design decisions that manage complexity while increasing the modularity of your software system.

Coupling is everywhere in software development. Whatever your job level or title, whether you are writing a function, designing an object model, or architecting distributed systems, this book is for you.

Understand coupling and the ways it manifests itself in software design
Evaluate the multi-dimensional forces of coupling
Understand how the dimensions of coupling interact to impact your system
Steer your systems away from complexity and toward modularity

Who Should Read This Book?
As I’m writing this introduction, Pearson’s style guideline instructs me to “be precise and resist the temptation to create a long list of potential readers.” Well, then I will define the book’s target audience as people creating software. Whether you are a junior software engineer, senior, principal, or an architect, as long as you are making software design decisions, at whatever level of abstraction, coupling can make or break your efforts. Learning to tame the forces of coupling will allow you to build more modular and evolvable software.
