Join us on April 21 to learn to think like an architect and incorporate the function of architecture into your current position or move into a architecture role.  This hands-on workshop will cover both the soft and hard skills of an architect, including how to communicate ideas, how to apply common patterns to technical problems, and the qualities of robust design.  We will work through the design of a familiar scenario from problem statement to final solution in small teams.  
This workshop will be taught by <A HREF="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amber-milavec-18b3124/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Amber Milavec</A>.
