Last week, a colleague came to me to ask for advice. He's a senior systems administrator who's now in a developer role. He's competent in writing and editing code in general, but feels like he's lacking experience in software design.
He's eager to learn about the subject, but I couldn't quite help him. I consider myself reasonably competent in designing software, but that's the result of 15 years trial-and-error-based learning, so I cannot point him to any resource. Can you recommend a book, webpage or other material (or maybe just some advice) that might help him build this skill?
