Abstract
New software technology appears every year. Like clockwork, another language, library, pattern, or approach will arrive on the scene with plenty of hype and developer enthusiasm. As someone whose job requires making architectural decisions, you need to evaluate these new technologies with an eye toward the inevitable tradeoffs before deciding if a new framework or language is right for your project.
Michael and I got together to talk about my latest book project, Thinking Architecturally! So you now you listen to my thoughts on being an architect, dealing w/ change, etc. Enjoy and please reach out with feedback!
