Additional Information
Overview
Every system has an architecture, whether accidental or intentional, and regardless of whether it was put in place by a nominated architect or whether it emerged from the decisions and discussions of a team. All too often the focus of what is often described as architecture is centred around a specific slice of platform technologies, which forms only one part of the set of concerns an architecture should. And all too often architecture is seen as a separate concern from development process, whereas the two are intertwined — what you build is influenced by how you build it, and vice versa. We will look at the relationship between agile processes and good architecture, taking in development process models, architectural styles, requirements techniques, sufficient modelling techniques, design patterns and testing practices.
Whether you’re working in the cloud or on the desktop, in the mobile space or on the web, steering your code and design style towards immutability offers both short-term and long-term practical benefits. In this hands-on training, we’ll be looking at guidance and practice to help reduce the mutability of state in your codebase.
Requirements
This course is for software architects and lead developers looking to broaden and sharpen their skills in the disciplines touched on by software architecture, not just specific technologies.
