Software architects, technical leaders, senior developers, and others who want intensive, hands-on training in software architecture are encouraged to register for the La Jolla ArchConf software architecture training conference now before the event sells out.

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2016 -- ArchConf, a four-day intensive software architecture training conference scheduled for April 4 - 7, 2016 in La Jolla, California is nearly at capacity, organizers announced today. In reaction to the near sell-out, a second ArchConf event has been scheduled for December, 2016 in Clearwater, Florida.

The four-day ArchConf training event features nearly 80 in-depth, 90-minute training sessions on topics including Agile design, scalable systems, microservices, evolutionary architecture, distributed systems, continuous delivery, service-based architecture, design principles, soft skills, web application security, enterprise messaging, data architecture, architecture patterns, cloud architectures, measuring and profiling and modular Java.

Careers in software architecture are projected to grow by nearly 30 percent over the next decade according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the job title comes with a median annual salary of $121,000 according to Pay.com.

"Software architects are responsible for designing IT systems that solve business problems, typically acting as a liaison between management and technical teams that develop the solutions," explains Jay Zimmerman, the founder of ArchConf Software Development Conference. "The field is exploding, but it's changing so fast that our country's training infrastructure hasn't caught up. That's why we created ArchConf, the educational event for software architects, technical leaders, and senior developers."

The conference is produced by the same company that presents the "No Fluff Just Stuff" Java Software Symposiums in 18 major cities across the U.S. Speakers scheduled to appear include:

The "No Fluff, Just Stuff" series of Java software symposiums launches its 2016 national tour in Bloomington MN, home of two of its speakers: technologist and mentalist Michael Carducci, and University of Minnesota adjunct professor and software architect Nathaniel T. Schutta.

Minneapolis, MN -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/22/2016 -- A national software symposium for Java developers scheduled at the Hilton Hotel in Bloomington March 4 - 6, 2016, will feature "soft skills" training by Minneapolis residents Michael Carducci and Nathaniel T. Schutta. The two will join eight additional nationally-recognized speakers for the event. Java is the computer programming language that is used to run everything from websites to Android smartphones.

Carducci, a former Java programmer, is a technologist and database strategist who uses aspects of his other career--mentalism and close-up magic--to train Java developers to "create solutions that seem impossible at first glance." Carducci will help Java coders learn to overcome obstacles, challenge their perceptions and tackle software development in new ways.

Java programming is about more than just coding, Carducci explains. "It's easy to believe that your job is to write code. But you actually add value to the organization as a problem-solver."

Schutta, an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota, is the co-author of "Presentation Patterns," a book aimed at ridding the world of bad PowerPoint presentations. He will train attendees on leading technical change, rewriting architectures, communication for software architects, and Agile, a programming framework.

The weekend training conference "attracts Java developers, programmers, IT managers and others responsible for creating applications with Java," explains its founder, Jay Zimmerman. "One of the key points of the "No Fluff, Just Stuff" Java Symposium Series is the high level of interaction between speaker and attendees at each conference," he adds. "We limit each local conference to 250 attendees, and we create an informal atmosphere where people can come together and discuss issues and learn from each other."

Now in its sixteenth year, the "No Fluff, Just Stuff" 24-city conference tour includes training on various Java frameworks, UI design, data security and encryption issues, software architecture, testing and deployment, mobile application development, and other Java programming topics.
