    In this anticipated video series, Neal Ford and Mark Richards examine the
    responsibilities of a software architect, specifically the knowledge and
    skills you need to be effective in that role.

    The first video, Understanding the Basics, not only focuses on development
    techniques, but also pinpoints the skills you need to be a successful team
    leader. You’ll learn about the four main aspects of a software architect,
    and quickly discover the difference between architecture decisions and
    technology decisions. In this video, you’ll explore:

    Soft Skills

    Investigate techniques for communicating effectively as a team leader
    Measure your technical knowledge, including technical depth vs. technical
    breadth, and multi-platform skills
    Discover how to increase your expertise of business domains
    Learn how ensure a successful implementation by matching methodology with
    architecture
    Architectural Techniques:

    Make your architecture more adaptable to changes in business and technology
    Explore various techniques and patterns for integrating multiple
    applications and databases
    Get a true understanding of enterprise architecture by examining the
    context and goals of an EA implementation
    The topics in this video set the stage necessary to understand the
    enterprise architecture approaches and strategies demonstrated in the
    series’ second video: Software Architecture Fundamentals: A Deeper Dive.

  2. A load of bull. If you can do the work, you’ll get the job, sooner or
    later.

  3. Software Architecture Fundamentals Part 1 – Understanding the Basics

  4. Favorite part so far, is in the second video, Architecture Soft Skills –
    “Understand the political climate of the enterprise and be able to navigate
    the politics”.

    It’s an important principle, because it leads to a negative recommendation.
    I.e., if this is true – if this is required, to be an effective software
    architect – then I will always want to be a ‘mere’ programmer, and not get
    directly involved in software architecture, in this sense.

    However, even for those uninterested in this level of analysis, this is
    still a good video series to view. Most of us in any large firm, have to
    deal with architects, even if their official title says something else. It
    doesn’t hurt to have a glimpse into their perspective, to be able to
    communicate better.

    Also, I can guarantee you, your manager/team leader/micromanaging butthead,
    won’t take it personally, if you recommend the series to them. Doesn’t
    hurt, can only help.

    The video series itself, is very approachable. Thanks, Neal and Mark.
