I hope you found it a useful look at some of the traps that I've seen people (including myself!) fall into over the years. The pitfalls ...	30-Mar-2009 09:50:00
2	The role of the software architect (video, part 1) Novantus (a Jersey based cinematic/media production company) and I have recorded a version of my recent BCS Jersey presentation entitled The role of the software architect in successful projects.

3	Why aren't software architects held accountable? Mike Walker has an interesting post comparing the architect roles across the building and software industries, entitled The Nemesis of Software Architecture. Comparisons aside, there's one point that I really wanted to pick up on. 4. Accountability ...	03-Mar-2009 10:14:00
4	The role of the Software Architect in successful projects Admittedly the "Coding the Architecture" audience for this is probably kind of small (hi Dave!), but I'm presenting a session at the Jersey BCS in a few weeks entitled "The role of the Software Architect in successful projects". The IT industry has a ...	30-Oct-2008 21:26:00
5	The role of a hands-on software architect Becoming a software architect isn't something that simply happens overnight or with a promotion. It's a role, not a rank. It's an evolutionary process where you'll gradually gain the experience and confidence that you need to undertake the role. While ...	10-Sep-2008 18:33:00
6	Software architecture training in London The next public run of our software architecture training is taking place on the 2nd/3rd of September at Skills Matter. Join us for a course that takes a pragmatic view of what software architecture is all about, what's expected of software architects ...	29-Aug-2008 15:40:00
7	Style on top of substance... As seasoned techies, many architects aren't automatically comfortable giving presentations. Ironically, our ability to abstract and describe complex information makes us better suited to doing them than we like to think, providing we understand the ...	27-Aug-2008 14:12:54
8	How do you maintain your coding skills? Jason Chambers has a great blog entry called Do Architects need coding skills?, which talks about why architects need to be able to code. Given that this site is called Coding the Architecture, our thoughts on this will come as no surprise. In addition ...	15-Aug-2008 15:38:00
9	Mind the gap again I did some technical consulting/due diligence on a large software development project recently where I'd been called in to look at how the project team was dealing with some of the non-functional requirements. I'm not sure exactly how large the project ...	04-Aug-2008 17:12:46
10	Software architecture training for £500 The first run of our software architecture training is taking place on the 16th/17th of June at Skills Matter. As is traditional with Skills Matter courses, the first teach is offered at a discounted rate, meaning that you can get two days of training ...	02-Jun-2008 11:53:02
11	Mind the gap Our industry has a love/hate relationship with the software architect role, with many organisations dismissing it because of their negative experiences of architects that dictate from "ivory towers" and aren't engaged with the actual task of building ...	02-May-2008 11:58:03
12	Question of the week This week's question is a common one that I get... I'm an aspiring software architect and I'm working on a project as a developer. I'm not going to get an architect role without having some experience, but we already have an architect on my project. ...	11-Apr-2008 19:50:17
13	What is a software architect? I've been talking through the role profile for software architects recently and I'm going to publish a revised version soon. In the meantime, I thought that it's worth clarifying exactly who the profile is aimed at. Although there might not be a common ...	10-Apr-2008 19:30:00
14	Question of the week We get a number of question from people about software architecture and since most of the answers are applicable to a wider audience, we thought it would be good to share them. For this reason, we're going to post a question of the week (we will ...	28-Mar-2008 11:15:37
15	Architecture tutorial @ QCon London 2008 Just a quick note to say that, in just over a week, Kevin Seal and myself are running an all-day tutorial at QCon London 2008. Entitled Coding the Architecture : From Developer to Architect, this tutorial explains what architecture is and how to ...	29-Feb-2008 14:40:00
16	The key difference between developer and architect roles At our last user group, we asked people what they thought the key difference between the developer and architect roles was. I said that I'd publish the results, so here they are : Architect has responsibility for ensuring coherence of all aspects ...	11-Feb-2008 15:48:00
17	Infrastructure architecture and the similarities to software I've just finished working on a review of the infrastructure architecture behind a number of fairly large media websites. Infrastructure isn't really my speciality1, but what I found interesting about this piece of work was the number of direct ...	06-Feb-2008 11:41:23
18	Common sense... I've just spent a day helping out on a project I had some involvement with last year. For some reason it apparently puts people's minds at ease when an old face gets involved (actually, my face isn't that old - perhaps I mean't "a familiar face"?) ...	28-Jan-2008 11:21:00
19	London User Group - December 2007 Thanks very much to everybody that came along to the London User Group last Thursday night - it was our largest turnout yet at just under 40 people. Also, congratulations to the winners of the QCon London 2008 pass and the books. We look forward to ...	11-Dec-2007 17:12:33
20	Who's paying for this? I like working with users as they often give really good feedback. They're the ones who have to live with the software every day so tend to be very clear about how it helps/hinders their work. Is it naive to think that making users happy by meeting ...	07-Dec-2007 10:43:53
