Architecture

On 17th May 2010, we went to a free talk by Simon Brown about architecture. It was a very imformative, and with my background of being part of teams of self-organising developers, the 'architect' role was not clearly defined. His talk helped me identify what the architect role involves.

One thing I learned was the definition of "non-functional requirements". As developers we'd often discuss stuff like portability, scalability, high availability etc, but with no quantified requirements or direction from the business.

His website is at codingthearchitecture.com and contains a lot of useful information.
