Does deviating from common software design principles necessarily produce bad software? In this webinar, Xerox systems engineer and architect Christine Miyachi will explore what lessons software designers can learn from other areas of design. Great furniture designers, for example, may iterate on a particular chair design even when the iterations aren’t necessarily improvements. They simply produce different beautiful and functional chairs. This webinar will explore such questions as:
- Must software form always follow function?
- Can software be designed for beauty first?
- What happens when software designers break the single responsibility principle (i.e. a class is responsible for one part of the functionality only)?
- What are the pros and cons of abandoning common principles in crafting software?
A Q&A will follow the discussion. We invite you to join us!
