Software Architecture: The Hard Parts, Neal Ford

Software Architecture: The Hard Parts, with Neal Ford, at Codecamp_Cluj 2024 “Software architecture” is the stuff you can’t Google. Developers become adept at searching for solutions to the technical issues they face–but what about architects? Their solutions are generic; rather, each decision features significant trade-offs. This keynote, based on the eponymous book, delves into many of the areas in software architecture where difficult decisions lie and discusses techniques for evaluating those trade-offs to reach informed decisions. The job of an architect isn’t to find silver-bullet solutions to problems (they are too rare); instead, architects should hone their ability to perform objective trade-off analysis for novel situations (because all situations in architecture are novel). This keynote unlocks many techniques that architects can use to make better decisions. https://codecamp.ro/conferences/codecamp-cluj-napoca/
