I'm pleased to say I'll be in the United States next month for the DevNexus 2016 conference that is taking place in Atlanta, GA. In addition to a number of talks about software architecture, I'll also be running my popular "The Art of Visualising Software Architecture" workshop. Related to the (free) book with the same name, this hands-on workshop is about improving communication and specifically software architecture diagrams. We'll talk about UML and some anti-patterns of "boxes and lines" diagrams, but the real focus is on my "C4 model" and some lightweight techniques for communicating software architecture. The agenda and slides for this 1-day workshop are available online. I hope you'll be able to join me.
Simon is an independent consultant specializing in software architecture, and the author of Software Architecture for Developers (a developer-friendly guide to software architecture, technical leadership and the balance with agility). He’s also the creator of the C4 software architecture model and the founder of Structurizr, which is a collection of open source and commercial tooling to help software teams visualise, document and explore their software architecture.
