Inaugural Meeting for the Tampa Chapter of IASA was last night October 30th.
Jeff Barnes was presenting - "The role of Software Architect"
Tom Fuller is heading up the group and has been giving talks on SOA last few years and has been talking about forming a group for a while. Congrats to him on finally making it happen. Tom recently just had a baby and we all are really found of that.
If you are an aspiring software architect wanting to learn more about being an architect, you are in a role of a software architect or a seasoned developer who has been lately taking on more and more architecture jobs - this is the place to be.
This group is promising to stay platform indifferent and will present methods and guidelines, rather then specific technology how to.
Next meeting is tentatively set for Nov 28th 6:30PM Topic TBA
Tom is also looking for speakers or ideas on topics for the group so feel free to get a hold of Tom through his blog.
