The O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference, March 16–19, 2015, Boston, MA, is a new event designed to provide the in-depth professional training that software architects and aspiring software architects need to succeed. A unique event, it covers the full scope of a software architect’s job, from IT to leadership and business skills. It also provides a forum for networking and hearing what other professionals have learned in real-world experiences.
Software architecture is a massive multidisciplinary subject, covering many roles and responsibilities, which makes it challenging to teach because so much context is required for every subject. It’s also a fast-moving discipline, where entire suites of best practices become obsolete overnight.
