# Peer instruction ## Tasks Prepare yourself by studying the following topics before the peer instruction. ### Preparation Work your way through ["The top 5 software architecture patterns: How to make the right choice"](https://techbeacon.com/top-5-software-architecture-patterns-how-make-right-choice) with support in the [free e-book "Software Architecture Patterns"](http://www.oreilly.com/programming/free/software-architecture-patterns.csp). Focus on thinking of examples that you have come across in regard to the different patterns and the patterns characteristics. Read through ["Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in the Real World"](http://s3.beckshome.com/20070727-SOA-In-The-Real-World.pdf) ([service-oriented architecture (SOA)](http://searchmicroservices.techtarget.com/definition/service-oriented-architecture-SOA), [Service Oriented Architecture (SOA): simply good design](http://www-01.ibm.com/software/solutions/soa/index.html), [Service-oriented architecture](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/microservices-architecture/architect-microservice-container-applications/service-oriented-architecture), [Microservices architecture](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/microservices-architecture/architect-microservice-container-applications/microservices-architecture)) and then watch [this presentation introducing "Web Oriented Architectures" (0-11 min)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjTclCFuz0k). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
