Software Developer & Mentor
Kirk is software developer with a passion for building great software. He takes a keen interest in design, architecture, application development platforms, agile development, and the IT industry in general, especially as it relates to software development. His recent book, Java Application Architecture was published in 2012, and presents 18 patterns that help you design modular software.
Presentations
Modular Architecture - Refactoring the Monolith
Microservices are all the rage. But this isn’t a session on microservices. It’s a session on modularity. At the end of the day, microservices are just one way to the increase modularity of our software system. But there are others.
Principles of Agile Architecture
Traditional approaches to software architecture are broken. Attempts to define the architectural vision for a system early in the development lifecycle do not work. In today’s volatile technology and business climate, big architecture up front is not sustainable. In this session, we will explore several principles that help us create more flexible and adaptable software systems. But first, we’ll expose the true essence of what’s meant when we say “architectural agility.”
Java 9 - The Jigsaw Module System
With Java 9, modularity will be built in to the Java platform…Finally! In this session, we explore the default Jigsaw module system and compare it to the alternative module system, OSGi, on the Java platform.
Modularity, Microservices, and Modern Architectural Paradigms
New architectural paradigms are emerging that challenge traditional assumptions about the way that scalable and adaptable software is built. At the heart of these paradigms is a modular approach that breaks apart the monolithic application. But breaking apart the monolith has implications beyond software architecture and never before has architecture, infrastructure, and methodology been linked in a way that demands a new approach to software development.
