Simon Brown, author of Software Architecture for Developers,
talks with Sven Johann about using
simple sketches to visualize, communicate and document software
architecture. The show starts with a consideration of why
sketches are more useful than UML and then continues with the
explanation of the C4 model (context, containers, components and
classes) and how it fits Shneiderman's mantra. Next Brown
discusses why the code never matches the diagrams, how frameworks
are guilty of this, and what you can do to let the code scream
the architecture at you. Finally, it's all about how to create a
useful documentation which can also easily maintained and
browsed.
