The Building Plan: Thinking Architecturally
Tuesday, 9:00 AM MDT
You are ready to level up your skills. Or, you've already been playing accidental architect, and need to have a structured plan to be designated as one. Well, your wait is over.
From the author of O'Reilly's best-selling “Head First Software Architecture” comes a full-day workshop that covers all that you need to start thinking architecturally. Everything from the difference between design and architecture, and modern description of architecture, to the skills you'll need to develop to become a successful architect, this workshop will be your one stop shop.
We'll cover several topics:
- What is architecture, what is design, and the spectrum between them
- The modern description of architecture
- Understanding architectural characteristics
- A brief coverage of some architectural styles
- Other skills you need to have to become a successful architect
This is an exercise heavy workshop—so be prepared to put on your architect hat!
