How to structure our programs right? This has been a central question since the beginning of software development. In this talk, we explore the evolution of software architecture, delving into its history to uncover why we build software the way we do today.

We start with foundations like information hiding, modularity, separation of concerns, loose coupling. We move on to principles like layering and design patterns. We conclude with an outlook to modern ideas like hexagonal architecture, onion architecture, SOLID, and the software architecture hamburger.

Join this session for a journey through the history and principles that continue to shape software development, offering insights and inspiration for tackling today’s architectural challenges.
