Status Updates From Fundamentals of Software Ar...

This has been a good book. The fundamentals - what the job entails, patterns, soft skills. Pretty well rounded. I've seen comments that criticize it but they seem a bit unfounded - the book isn't supposed to focus on the engineering aspect of it. The book clearly states it'll use terminology but nowhere does it state it would delve deeper into it, they are two different coins!! Perfect for SWEs who want to be a SA.

Diagraming standards and how to present architecture, and the current chapter is about architect personalities: control freak, armchair architect (who hasn't coded in a while or is decoupled),

Risk assessment / mitigation

Moving on to section 3, the soft skills required to be a successful software architect. At the end of section two the microservices architecture was covered, and there's a course on that one being used with React and Node (both JavaScript frameworks).

It's good to know the material covered can be found in lectures that guide you through actually implementing it with a language. Maybe it's shown in the book?

Awesome.

The narrator is going through several different architecture styles for a large (or majority) of the remainder of the book.
