Re: Ask HN: What are the best books for learning software architecture?
#2You might be interested in Concepts, Techniques and Models of Computer Programming by Peter Van Roy and Seif Haridi (http://www.amazon.com/Concepts-Techniques-Models-Computer-Pr...). It presents an overview of different programming models, and expounds on the right way to approach problems with these different models. I found the chapters on concurrency useful myself.
While not a book, an alternative strategy that might be helpful would be to explore some projects like TorqueBox (Ruby) or Immutant (Clojure) that pull together a lot of different solutions (web server, application server, messaging, caching, transactions and scheduling) into a suite.

#3The Architecture of Open Source applications [0]. I suggest also to check, but they are more specific, Enterprise Integration Patterns [1]. Building Big Data systems, Data Intensive applications [2], [3].
The best way to learn is practice - open source project or lending an appropriate job.

I really like the look of the patterns of enterprise application architecture book also by Martin fowler but is there really nothing more recent covering the same subject. Surely a new edition is overdue?

There doesn't appear to be much architecture stuff which is more recent, but I had a look through this book today and it seems to hold up pretty well. It would be great to see a bang up to date version though.
