Course: Systems Architecture for Managers

Architects may fight with Managers and vice-versa. For reducing that friction, either of them should know of the other side of the table.

Thus, the course. Hence, I attend it with School of Computer Science and offered by Software Engineering Institute. Faculty instructors are Tony Lattanze and Robert "Bob" Monroe.

Tony is awesome at clarifying concepts and bringing in evolutionary perspective. Also, he engages the class well. I haven't attended Bob much yet and hence, cannot comment. As discussed at the start of this post, this course primarily deals with analyzing, designing, building large and complex inter-disciplinary systems. Heuristics for design principles, guidelines for analysis, engineering systems, etc will be dealt with in this class.

It has been just 2 classes and it has been good so far. They have a demanding future set of tasks w.r.t. 7 out 10 writeups....almost one per class.
