Traditionally, Microsoft has done a pretty good job reaching out to the developer community around the world. I mean, just look at MSDN -- an entire site devoted to developer information and technical readiness.
But what about software architects. Where's the love for them? Enter ArcReady.
This is a new series of community events geared toward current and aspiring software architects. If you are currently working in the role of an architect, think you're working in the role or think someday you would like to be an architect, ArcReady can help you get the knowledge and skills you need to excel. This will not be the sterotypical architecture session with just a lot of "slideware" and high-level concepts. We'll start with those, but then dive deeper into how these principles are implemented in the real world.
The topic for out first event is What Does an Architect Do Anyway? and it will be presented by Tim Landgrave, Managing Partner of Composable Systems, Inc. and Microsoft MVP for Solutions Architecture. After Tim's talk, we'll take a deeper dive into the many resources available to help architects do their jobs better and more efficiently.
ArcReady's maiden voyage begins this month throughout the central region and continues into March. Here is a schedule with the cities in which we'll be presenting:
