The last year I have been working as a solution architect for a large European company as part of the EA team and I must say, it has been quite an interesting experience. The vision/ideas that the other architects within EA have about software architecture made me explore a little bit on how software architecture has been perceived by the industry. During in this exploration I stumbled on a number of interesting articles that I want to share:
- The developers vs enterprise architects showdown: you shall know us by our trail of diagrams
- Multiple perspectives on technical problems and solutions
- The role, skills and duties of a software architect
I also became a big fan of Eric Dietrich (@daedtech) writings – so check out some of his postings
- Consulting for your current employer: make your boss your first client
- Defining the corporate hierarchy
- Hacking your career as a non-developer
- Conference speaking isn’t good for your career until you make it good
- Learning in a world where programming skills aren’t that important
- The decline of the enterprise architect
Other architects you might also follow on Twitter include Martin Fowler (@martin fowler) (author of a number of excellent books you should read as well) , Michael Nygard (@mtnygard) Matt Stine (@mstine) and Simon Brown (check out his video on Visualize, Document and explore your Software architecture). Leave a comment if you think I missed a thought leader in the software architecture space on Twitter or other blog post which you consider must reads or just interesting.
