I am trying to find a book which contains information and best practices in software development and design. More specifically I need a book which talks about how each layer talks to other layers, for example how the logic layer of the server talks to the data access layer and vise versa, or what information should the client application send to the server and how to do this.

Mainly I would like it to be for Java development but it doesn't really matter.

Answer 1

Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture by Martin Fowler

Answer 2

Code Complete

written by Steve McConnell. I think it will be helpful.
