ARCast.TV - The Role of the Architect - A Panel Discussion

Posted By: Bob Familiar | Jan 4th @ 4:29 PM | 5,162 Views | 3 Comments
There are many disciplines that a software architect must master in order to do the job: requirements definition, use cases, modeling, layering, object orientation, service orientation, methodologies, and so on. In addition, as we are typically project leaders, we are usually tasked with mentoring others on the team in the understanding, adoption and application of these disciplines. This panel discussion focuses on the use of blogs, social networking and other online tools and content repositories that can be used to enhance and deliver mentoring to architects, developers and project teams. With Joe Shirey, Michael Stiefel, Denny Boynton, Miha Kralj, and Patrick Weikle.

Just curious what kind of work Miha Kralj does. No offence but want to be enlightened. Listening to his comments made me wonder what role Architects play in Microsoft. Are they purely business focussed without a technological foundation? If so, what is the role of the people that come up with specifications like SOAP, WCF Binary protocols, SMB etc.

Isn't SOAP, WCF Binary protocols, SMB etc. engeneering?

And believe me, Miha knows enough about that too.

He also knows what is what.
