Master The Crucial Technical Skills Every
Software Architect Needs!
To succeed as a software architect, you must
master both technical skills and soft skills. Dave Hendricksen
illuminated the soft skills in his highly-regarded 12 Essential
Skills for Software Architects. Now, in 12 More
Essential Skills for Software Architects he turns to
the technical side.
Drawing on his decades of experience,
Hendricksen organizes technical skills into three areas.
PROJECT SKILLS: driving projects from
ideation through delivery
TECHNOLOGY SKILLS: building, buying, and/or leveraging the right
technologies
VISIONARY SKILLS: realizing an architectural vision that improves
long-term competitiveness
He helps you develop and sharpen these key
technical skills: from conceptualizing solutions to developing
platforms and governance, and from selecting technology innovations
to infusing architectures with an entrepreneurial spirit.
This guide reveals the technical skills you
need and provides a coherent framework and practical methodology
for mastering them.
Taken together, Hendricksens two
books offer the most complete, practical pathway to excellence in
software architecture. Theyll guide you through every step
of your architecture careerfrom getting the right position
to thriving once you have it.
