Speaking

Simon Brown presented a free talk about where to start with software architecture at Skills Matter in London on the 17th of May. You can view the slides or watch the video.

Simon is presenting a session called Where do you start? at the Norwegian .NET User Group (NNUG) on the 24th of August in Oslo.

About the author

Depending on your viewpoint, Simon is either a software architect who codes or a software developer who understands architecture. When he's not developing software with .NET or Java, Simon can usually be found consulting, coaching or training. Simon has also written books about Java, presented at industry events and has put together a training course called Software architecture for developers, which is based upon his software architecture writing at Coding the Architecture.

Architecting during construction

Here are the details of the second Coding the Architecture London User Group.

Title : Architecting during construction
Summary : Modern dogma has us believe that decisions should be deferred until the last responsible moment. But is the glamour of agile approaches leading to architectures being responsibly deferred or simply "hacked"?

In this session Kevin Seal presents his experiences of architecture being defined during the construction phase of projects, to their benefit and detriment.
Date : Wednesday, 3rd October 2007
Time : 18:30-20:00
Location : Skills Matter, 1 Sekforde Street
Format : Presentation followed by a breakout for discussion, with further discussion in a local pub (The Crown).

Please sign-up on the Skills Matter website.

The agile zealots may bring their pitchforks and burning torches. You have been warned.
