ITauthor Podcast 38 - Documenting IT Architecture

Andy Tucker is Head of IT Strategy and Architecture at DWP, and an old friend. I asked him to explain what "architecture" is in the context of computer systems and software. He also talks about the importance of documentation and the types of documentation used by systems architects.

=======================

The ITauthor Podcast is a series of audio recordings of no set length, published to no set schedule. The content is generally, but not exclusively, focused on technical writing and, specifically, issues involved in the business of documenting software. The podcast is not sponsored, endorsed or supported by any organization. I put this podcast together in my own time and, while I try to make the audio quality listenable, I make no promise that the content will always be of any particular quality. But, if you're interested in documentation and software I hope you'll find something interesting in here.

All views expressed in these podcasts are entirely the personal opinions of the individual speakers, come with no assurance of veracity, are not sanctioned or endorsed by any third party, are not made on behalf of any organization the speaker is or has been connected with, and do not reflect the views of the speaker's employer.
