Martin Fowler has called software architecture “the stuff that’s hard to change later”. It’s about the decisions that you need to make, that you can’t defer any longer – but if you get them wrong, fixing them later is going to be expensive, risky and complicated.
Whether you’re looking to specialise in an architecture role, or just want to better understand how to approach the design of your software projects, my courses can help you figure out what’s out there, how it can help, and how to use it effectively on your projects.
