Why should you attend?

In this Masterclass Simon Brown (author of 'Software Architecture for Developers')  will give you an introduction to a pragmatic and practical approach to software architecture; including technical leadership, communication and how to balance upfront design with agile approaches. Software Architecture for Developers is a practical and pragmatic guide to modern software architecture, specifically aimed at software developers. 

 

   This Masterclass will cover:

  •  The essence of software architecture
  •  Why the software architecture role should include coding, coaching and collaboration
  •  The things that you really need to think about before coding
  •  How to visualise your software architecture using the C4 model
  •  A lightweight approach to documenting your software
  •  Why there is no conflict between agile and architecture
  •  What "just enough" up front design means
  •  How to identify risks with risk-storming
