3 Approaches to reduce complexity in software systems
Many approaches exist to handle complexity in a software system. In this article I will touch three of them: general- vs. special-purpose modules, using layers and staying consistent.

The importance of information hiding in modules
In programming some modules feel more complex than others. Why is that? Often the complex modules do not hide their complexity well.

3 Patterns that keep System Complexity under control
Knowing what system complexity is is good. You might ask though, how you can identify system complexity and how you can manage it. In this article I will introduce the three manifestations of system complexity and three patterns to control it.

System Complexity - The Engineer's Nightmare
The more time you spend in Software Engineering, the fewer you will be concerned about which programming language or fancy framework will be used. Another factor plays a big role in how a project develops over time and how much fun it is to work on it: System Complexity.
