Software architecture is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the age of generative A.I., code generation, and agents. As A.I. continues to infiltrate the software development process, developers are beginning to see a shift in their traditional role to one that involves more of a focus on architecture. The problem is, there's no clear path 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 intensive hands-on 2-day masterclass is designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and roadmap necessary to become an effective 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 group-based, hands-on exercises, you'll learn how to think like an architect, learn the technical aspects of software architecture, and learn how A.I. and software architecture intersect.
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 in the age of A.I..
