The job “Software Architect” was rated as the number one job by a recent CNN survey. Yet no clear path exists for moving from developer to architect. Why? Because software architecture is massive multidisciplinary subject with no clear definition or job description, making it difficult to chart a course for undertaking all of the learning required to become an effective software architect.
This hands-on training course is designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and roadmap necessary to become an effective and successful software architect. Being a software architect is much more than just drawing boxes and lines. It's about thinking like an architect, being a leader, and understanding the architectural elements, patterns, and styles necessary to create effective software architectures. Through interactive course materials and architecture exercises, this course will teach you both the technical aspects of software architecture as well as the soft skills of architecture.
Knowing what architecture pattern best fit your situation is critical to the success of your architecture. In this course you will gain an in-depth understanding of many different architecture styles and patterns, including event-driven, microkernel, space-based, microservices, and service-based architectures. You will learn how each pattern works, the major characteristics of each pattern, and how to use each pattern to create an effective software architecture that matches your business needs and requirements.
From an architecture soft skills perspective you will learn how important leadership, communication, facilitation, and negotiation skills are to a software architect, as well as the techniques for acquiring these skills. You will also learn many other soft skills techniques, such as how to think like an architect, make effective architecture decisions, analyze and negotiate architecture tradeoffs, and work with architecture teams to create a single unified architecture vision.
This course will also lead you through the basics of integration and enterprise architecture to help you better understand each of these architecture disciplines. You will learn about various integration styles and when to use each, as well as other integration architecture topics such as the role of an integration hub and techniques for integrating with other systems. You will also learn what enterprise architecture is and how it fits into the overall organization.
Whether you are on the path of developer to architect or already an architect, this course will provide you with the necessary practical hands-on real-world technical and soft-skills knowledge to quickly become an effective software architect.
