Software architecture kickstart

-- Description

No slides, but hands-on!

Designing architectures is a complex task. In practice, however, some techniques have emerged that make architecture much more successful. In this training you will not only learn the most important approaches for software architecture, but you will also apply them practically. So you can start directly in the project!

Architecture work is complex: every project has its own challenges, so every architecture is different. But there are basic techniques that play a central role in the design of architectures. This training teaches you such techniques in a very practical way using concrete examples. This ensures that you will be already able to apply them during the training and thus be able to use them in the project without any problems.

Procedure

Over a period of four weeks, you will take part in a four-hour session per week on one of the topics. There is also a 2-day in person version of the training.

Schedule

• Four four-hour small group sessions on Qualities, Bounded Contexts, Strategic Design and Legacy

What you learn

Qualities or non-functional requirements are necessary to understand the problem to be solved in the first place. Otherwise, without a good understanding of the technical challenges, an inappropriate or ineffective solution will be created. Bounded contexts divide a system into modules – an essential foundation of any architecture. Strategic design enables the integration of modules into the overall system. Finally, you’ll learn how to effectively deal with legacy, which often impedes the effective evolution of a system.

-- Agenda

• Qualities: Understanding and implementing non-functional requirements
• Bounded context: dividing systems into modules from a domain perspective
• Strategic Design: understanding the interaction of modules
• Legacy: Being able to deal with existing systems
