THE LAYPERSON'S GUIDE TO SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

You might expect that that this forty five minutes session will completely summarise everything you need to know about software architecture. Unfortunately, it most probably will not. Instead, this session is the next best thing: A guide for the uninitiated; explained for the layman. Just enough to get you started.

This is my humble take on what "just enough" knowledge is:

Is there an easy way to understand what software architecture is?

How do you explain the role of an architect?

How does design fit into architecture?

Who makes technical decisions?

When should decisions be made?

What should be the primary focus for decision making?

If you are a software professional such as a Developer, BA, QA, PM or Architect who wants to know more about the general principles of software architecture, then sign up and join us in the discussion!
