To help you with this question and to answer many such questions from my readers, I’ll share a few online courses you can take to learn more about Software Architecture and how to become a software architect. But, the big question is, how does a senior developer become a software architect? What books or courses you can look forward to learning the skills a Software or Solution architect should have? It’s also one of the most common questions I receive from my reader, apart from how to prepare for Java interviews. Most of the Java developers I have met or interacted with wanted to become software architects, though only a few succeed, and most of them are still either technical leads or Senior Software developers. If you want to be close with coding and technical discussions, like to try new technologies and want to use them in your organization to solve a challenging problem, software architecture is an excellent position to be in. For tech guys, who don’t want to go on people and product management, software architecture or solution architecture is the final position, which is not surprising. Still, once you reach the barrier of 5 years, you need to decide which direction you want to move like - people management, product management, or software architecture. The growth in the initial few years is generally fast.

Every Programmer wants to grow in their career, but it’s not easy, and if you don’t pay attention to your job, you will likely stay in the same position for many years.
