The Art of Immutable Architecture: Theory and Practice of Data Management in Distributed Systems 1st ed. Edition

Being written by a mathematician, I was concerned the book might be overly theoretical and difficult to apply. Instead, I found the book to be very readable. For example, I found his summaries of things like React/Flow, blockchain etc. to be concise, without unnecessary detail or complexity and easily comprehended. I found the main part of the book to be similarly free of unnecessary fluff so often found in technical books (I assume this is the author's mathematical leaning shining through), and I learned a lot about the subtleties of the different approaches one might take.I was able to see (in hindsight) several places where I could have used this work in recent projects, and I look forward to being able to reduce complexity and improve the solutions I am involved with in future.As people use things like React/Redux etc. and grow to appreciate the value of immutable data, I feel this book will become more and more relevant to people wanting to use immutable data in their services/domains.

A good book on immutable architecture where the author demonstrates the solid mathematical reasoning why immutable architecture is naturally fit to model the distributed system, and explains the idea with concrete examples to a great level of details. It is worth reading page by page. Like most of the books written by mathematicians, you can enjoy the elegance, accuracy and specificity of the language, sit relaxed as every claim is expected to be built on top of a solid foundation. Just that you also have to endure the amount of seemingly unrelated work and reading that eventually turns out to be necessary to lay out the foundation.

Enjoyable and readable with nice example.
