Software Architecture, Architects and Architecting
Software
architecture is getting a lot of attention. Is it just the silver bullet du jour? We think
not. It surely is critical to today's business success, yet it requires technical,
business and organizational talents and skills that warrant their own path of career
development, education, and research.
This site organizes a variety of resources to help
enterprise architects and software
architects deepen and expand their understanding of architecture and the role of
the architect.
What is software architecture?
How
do I create
an architecture?
Why
should we pay
attention to architecture?
Who
is right for the architect role?
Where does
architecture fit in development?
