2	Start with the big picture One of the hardest things about the software architecture role is being asked to come up with a software architecture when all you're given is a set of requirements and a blank piece of paper.

14	Is UML on the way out? One of the presenters at QCon (I think it was John Davies) asked the audience whether they used UML 2.0 and only a couple of people raised their hands.

20	What about the application tier?! I've recently become involved in a project with a very clear idea of its functional and data requirements - so much so that the presentation technology has been selected and the database vendor and schema determined.
