@George-This is designed for mid-to-senior level people. We discuss many topics that junior developers wouldn’t have enough context to understand: messaging styles in microservices, how to handle data in modern architectures, etc.
Hello,
I’m confused… the target audience are Architects and the Prerequisites is “basic knowledge of modern architecture styles” and intermediate level? A mid to senior level person, can attend to it?
