IASA's IT Architect Skills Library Online
After several months of hard work, IASA, the International Association of Software Architect, has published online the Architect Skills Library. What is the Skills Library? Well, it is what you get when a few dozen architects (your humble servant included) write papers relating their experience on the different aspects of the architect’s role -- everything from design, infrastructure, and quality attributes to human dynamics (soft skills)
I should probably mention mention both Nicole Tedesco and Dana Gerow orchestrated all this effort, and without whom, I doubt if the project would now be online.
By the way, what is even more interesting is that IASA is organizing training material based on this body of collective knowledge. If this works well, we'll finally have a comprehensive course to train new architects. Meanwhile, you can find the all the PDFs online at http://www.iasahome.org/web/home/skillset
P.S.
As I mentioned earlier I also wrote a paper for this project, "Views and Viewpoints," which you can download directly from here .
