Topic: Pragmatic Software Architecture
What is software architecture? What is the role of the architect? Is architecture relevant to agile development? What does this have to do with developers? This presentation will answer these questions and more. It will help you bring an architectural mindset to your development by identifying architectural techniques you can use in your daily development. If you’re interested in architecture, being an architect, or just want to think about software development in a new way, join us for this exploration of architecture and the architect.
