Software Architecture : Patterns, Techniques and Tools Deep Dive

Software Architecture : Patterns, Techniques and Tools Deep Dive Virtual WorkShop, June 28 2024

Global Big Data Conference is organizing one day Virtual Workshop (7hrs) - Software Architecture : Patterns, Techniques and Tools Deep Dive

Date : June 28th 2024

Duration : 7hrs

Description

Workshop Date: June 28th , 8.00 am PST

What You Will Learn

A good software architecture is the foundation for any successful software system. Your architectural choices affect almost every aspect of the software you are building from maintainability to stability, scalability and cyber vulnerability. But getting software architecture right is very hard - especially when working with larger teams. There are many reasons why so many projects end up as the dreaded big ball of mud.

Course Outline

Join expert Alexander von Zitzewitz to learn the foundations of good architecture. Youíll explore the concept of architecture styles and architectural fitness functions and dive into software metrics with architectural relevance. Youíll also investigate architectural smells like cyclic dependencies and bottleneck classes along with ways to refactor to prevent quality issues.

After learning the fundamentals, youíll do some real code analysis using a free tool called Sonargraph-Explorer. Get hands-on with basic assessment and analysis techniques as well as techniques and methods for breaking up or restructuring monolithic applicationsóand measure your progress every step of the way. Then we will talk about how you can enforce architectural models during development and therefore avoid the common problem of architectural erosion in the first place. At the end, we will look at techniques to break up monolithic applications into more manageable pieces.

In the second half of the course we will also use the commercial version of Sonargraph for some of the exercises. You will be provided with a free 3 months license of the tool. This is done because certain tasks are just a lot easier to execute with the proper tool-support. And there are currently no free tools available for those tasks.
