The Introduction to Software Architecture training course provides experienced software developers the skills and knowledge required to transition into a software leadership role as an architect. The term software architect typically describes a role within a software development organization. Software architecture describes the design and interworkings of a system. In order to for software architects to define a software architecture, architecture best-practices and principles are incorporating during the system design and alaysis process.
The Introduction to Software Architecture course examines the roles and responsibilities of a software architect, common elements, artifacts, of a good software architecture, and common processes and procedures architects go through when defining a software architecture. The course is structured in a workshop format where teams work together to define the software architecture for a Web 2.0 application.
Course Summary
Workshops are instructor-led lab-intensives focused on the practical application of technologies through the facilitation of a project-related lab. Workshops are just the opposite of Seminars. They deliver the highest level of knowledge transfer of any format. Think wide (breadth) and deep (depth).
