Certified Professional Software Architect (Foundation Level)

This course will teach you how to architect small or medium size systems

Can you see yourself in any of these situations?

No confidence to question the status quo

You’ve joined a new team and they’ve started bringing you up to speed about how the product fits together. The onboarding’s going well because you recognise the patterns so far.

But, after the third or the fourth pattern that they’re using to explain concepts in the implementation, you start missing gaps of knowledge. While you understand the pattern, you’re not sure why they’ve chosen those particular patterns to solve this specific challenge. You’d like to challenge them with a question but you don’t want to look like you don’t know what you’re doing.

Now what – do I keep quiet or risk it and challenge the design only days after joining the team?

Your applications for a software architect role are not being taken seriously

…even though you have the experience. You’ve applied to what feels like a million software architect roles and haven’t even made it through to the first interview. You review your CV for the thousandth time, you double check your LinkedIn profile – they’re both looking great. Even the recruiters that you’ve shown your CV to feel like its got what it takes.

You start seriously doubting your ability even though you have 10 years of great experience.

Not being taken seriously when it counts

A small group of select senior developers from your team have been tasked to architect and design a new feature for the product that you work on. You’ve been included – AWESOME!

The discussions have started and they’re becoming really interesting. You’re quite excited to contribute towards the design because you’ve recently been spending a ton of time reading, researching and creating POCs to learn about the architectural and engineering patterns that could actually solve this problem.

Thing is, admittedly egos are starting to flair and every time you want to add something, they dismiss you or what you’re saying. Implying that you don’t understand enough to be in the conversation – they expect you to just sit there and listen. You’re feeling sick to your stomach because it feels like they seriously don’t recognition what you have to offer – NOT AWESOME.

Frustration reigns from trying to self-study software architecture

You’ve been wanting to learn the craft of software architecture for years. You’ve even looked on online for courses but most of what you find is enterprise architecture or solution architecture which, after a fair amount reading is not quite what you’re looking for.

So you decide to start learning the art of software architecture on your own.

And you read and you read and you read and after a while you realise about how much there really is to learn – you’re feeling overwhelmed.
