The job Software Architect is currently rated as the number one job by a recent CNN survey. Yet no clear path exists for moving from developer to architect. Why? Because software architecture is a massive multidisciplinary subject with no clear definition or job description, making it difficult to chart a course for undertaking all of the learning required to become an effective software architect.
Mark Richards
Program
This one-day online training course will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of software architecture and help lead you on the path from developer to architect. Being a software architect is much more than just drawing boxes and lines. It’s about thinking like an architect, being a leader, and understanding the architectural elements, patterns, and styles necessary to create effective software architectures. This course will touch on both the technical aspects of software architecture as well as the soft skills of architecture, including architecture patterns, integration architecture basics, enterprise architecture basics, and soft skills such as how to think like an architect, make effective architecture decisions, and analyze architecture tradeoffs.
Whether you are on the path of developer to architect or find yourself suddenly in the role of an architect, this course will provide you with the necessary practical hands-on real-world technical and soft-skills knowledge to better understand what is involved in becoming an effective software architect.
