Architects look at thousands of buildings during their training, and study critiques of those buildings written by masters. In contrast, most software developers only ever get to know a handful of large programs well — usually programs they wrote themselves — and never study the great programs of history. As a result, they repeat one another’s mistakes rather than building on one another’s successes. This second volume of The Architecture of Open Source Applications aims to change that. In it, the authors of twenty-four open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why. What are each program's major components? How do they interact? And what did their builders learn during their development? In answering these questions, the contributors to this book provide unique insights into how they think.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    John O'Duinn has written code and led teams in organizations ranging from four-person startups to nonprofits to multinationals—including the US Government as part of the Obama White House, for the US Digital Service. For more details, see: www.linkedin.com/in/joduinn

    As a computer guy, John is comfortable with high stress, high ambiguity projects and enjoys using his skills with large complex distributed systems to solve problems that make a measurable difference to real humans.

    In addition to technology, John loves growing a culture where diverse groups of humans work well together in a distributed global workplace. He has worked in distributed companies of one form or another for 28 years and led distributed teams for 14 years. Over the last 7 years, he has consulted at large organizations in transition; mentored fast-growing distributed companies; and presented at universities, startup incubators, and conferences. In addition to writing “Distributed Teams: The Art and Practice of Working Together While Physically Apart”, John also helped write the State of Vermont’s “Remote Worker” law – a very different approach to Economic Development which was so wildly successful that John is now helping draft bills and write policies for multiple other jurisdictions worldwide.

    John received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Computer Science from Dublin City University (Ireland), blogs on oduinn.com, has a Shodan black belt in Aikido, loves travel and is on track to fill his passport again. So far, John has lived and worked in 13 cities across four continents.
