Participants should plan to attend both days of training course. Note: to attend training courses, you must be registered for a Platinum or Training pass; does not include access to tutorials on Monday.

Join Allen Holub for a hands-on exploration of how to architect systems that easily evolve incrementally over time as requirements emerge. You'll solve a real-world problem under Allen's guidance, learning everything you need to know to go from an idea to an evolutionary implementation architecture.

What you'll learn, and how you can apply it

By the end of this two-day training course, you'll understand:

How to build architectures that support constant change from business and disruptive technologies
How architecture aligns with company structure and processes
How to analyze business problems to discover architectural characteristics
How to define and refine effective user stories and extract architectural elements from them
How to develop a domain-focused architecture that stays coherent in the face of change

And you'll be able to:

Choose appropriate architectural patterns based on business requirements and evolvability
Create an architecture in incremental steps as you discover new requirements rather than as a single up-front process
Optimize that architecture so that it can evolve over time to accommodate changing requirements
Create and size high-quality user stories and build an architecture around these stories
Use mob programming, domain-driven design (DDD), event storming, and design by coding

Who is this presentation for?

You're a developer, architect, product manager, or owner.

Level

Intermediate

Prerequisites:

A basic understanding of computer systems

About your instructor

Allen Holub is one of the country’s foremost software architects and Agile-transformation consultants. Allen speaks internationally about all things Agile and software architecture and provides in-house training and consulting in those areas. He’s also an expert-level programmer, specializing in Swift, Java, and Web 2.0 applications and microservices. Allen can build highly dynamic websites (along the lines of Gmail) from front to back: both the frontend code—JavaScript, JQuery, Angular, HTML5, and CSS3—that runs in the browser and the backend code—Java, PHP, MySQL, Ruby, Mongo, C++, ZeroMQ, and EC2—that runs either on your server or in the cloud. Allen is widely published. His works include 10 books, hundreds of articles in publications ranging from Dr. Dobb’s Journal to IBM DeveloperWorks, and video classes for Agilitry.com (Agility with Allen), Pluralsight (Swift in Depth, Picturing Architecture, Object-Oriented Design), O’Reilly (Design Patterns in the Real World), and Lynda/LinkedIn.
