Modernizing Apps – Craftsmanship for Seniors
Modernize with both vision and craftsmanship. In this training, you’ll learn how to lead application modernization as a senior developer or architect, guiding teams and making the right decisions for sustainable software renewal.
From technology to strategy
A modern application is fundamentally different from legacy software. Legacy systems introduce risks: technical debt, inefficiency, frustrated developers, and even security issues. But modernization is easier said than done.
This training deepens your understanding of the key decisions in application modernization: refactor, redesign, or rebuild. What’s feasible, and what’s the return? You’ll learn how to choose the right architecture for your application and team and how to initiate and guide the modernization process as a senior developer.
We take a broad view of software development, from architecture and development to testing, operations, and monitoring. Think modern APIs, contract testing, efficient logging, and architecture choices based on function, stack, and team.
Besides technical depth, you’ll also learn how to drive modernization within your organization – through clear decision-making, communication, and persuasion.
🕐 Duration: 4 hours (hands-on session)
👥 Target audience: Senior developers, testers, and software architects
What you’ll learn
The training consists of two parts: a deep dive into modern software principles, followed by a hands-on session in which you build a small application. Finally, you’ll apply the insights to create a plan to modernize a module from your own application.
As a senior, you’ll learn to:
- Evaluate all relevant factors in modernization decisions, and know when and how to act
- Inform, activate, and guide your team effectively
- Convince stakeholders with well-founded communication, research, and return on investment (ROI)
- Design and implement cutting-edge architectures and APIs and why
- Execute refactors or rearchitectures using transitional architecture
- Apply quick wins, useful tools, and alternative programming principles
- Identify and analyze bottlenecks and potential solutions in your applications
Modernization with impact
After this training, you’ll know how to take the technical and organizational lead in application modernization. You’ll learn to make the right decisions, build support, and work with your team to create modern software that’s ready for the future.
