There have been a number of customer inuqiries to the Microsoft Application Architecture Guide 2.0 team for smaller, more focused guides. As a result, the team has created a series of application architecture pocket guides based on our Application Architecture Guide 2.0. Each guide is focused on a particular topic. We prioritized topics based on customer demand. Some customers wanted a focused guide on just the Agile Architecture Method, while others wanted a focused guide on the particular type of applications they build (Web, Rich Client, … etc.)

Application Architecture Pocket Guides

Here’s the initial set of pocket guides:

• Agile Architecture Method Pocket Guide
• Web Application Architecture Pocket Guide
• Mobile Application Architecture Pocket Guide
• RIA Architecture Pocket Guide
• Rich Client Application Architecture Pocket Guide
• Service Architecture Pocket Guide

You can browse the index of pocket guides at the pocket guide index page at our Application Architecture KB on CodePlex.
