  • 0

I have been a developer for approx 10 yrs. I want to know how can I consider myself to be an archtect level techie? How can developer move from code level development, to architect?

I obviously want to move up the tech ladder, and architecture seems appealing.

A second question would be, how do I learn about application architecture (big picture), in terms of 3.5 framework?

Any advise is appreciated.

    There are two criteria for being a software architect:

    (1) You have to call yourself one.

    (2) You have to convince someone to pay you to architect software.

    Everything else is just scaffolding. If you’re good at “big picture” development and planning, try to sell yourself as an architect on your next job search. If someone buys it, you’re an architect.
