In this post, I’m sharing some famous Software Architects that you probably heard of before, and I’m sure you’re using some of their content or tools on your project 🙂
Robert C. Martin
The Clean series author, also known as Uncle Bob. Robert Cecil Martin heavily contributed to the software development industry helping innumerable developers around the world to become better professionals by spreading best practices and architecture patterns.
Father of SOLID principle and author of Clean Code and Clean Architecture, Uncle Bob keeps lecturing professional developers to improve their coding skills and shares his thoughts on social media.
Martin Fowler
Martin Fowler is an unparalleled reference in Software Architecture topics. Author of popular titles such as Refactoring and Enterprise Application Architectures, Martin keeps his blog updated with modern challenges and solutions to make development routine easier and help build useful software.
One of my favorite content from Martin is Who Needs An Architect where he starts a journey to define Software Architecture with many other big names in the industry.
Simon Brown
Simon Brown is a renowned speaker and content creator, and his biggest contribution to the development community is the widely adopted C4 software architecture model.
The C4 model is an easy-to-learn, developer-friendly approach to creating software architecture diagrams, which helps explore a set of hierarchical abstractions of a solution architecture (software systems, containers, components, and code).
If you need to create consistent and clear solution architectural diagrams, I do totally recommend going through the C4 model to help you!
Sam Newman
Sam Newman is a definitive reference if you want to go deeper into Microservices! He is an author, speaker, and independent consultant specializing in cloud, continuous delivery, and microservices.
Author of Building Microservices and Monolith to Microservices, with the revamp of so many web applications to distributed architectures, it’s a great and reliable source to guide your tradeoffs with confidence.
That’s it! Hope you enjoy those guys contents! Did you know them? Have I missed some one from your list? Share your references!
