Trends in Software Architecture and the Works of Ecclesiastes

Predicting the future has always been fraught with peril. For example, it was a common prediction
in the 1950s that by the year 2000 personal helicopters would have largely replaced personal automobiles. |
|||||||
Yet the desire to predict the future, especially in certain areas of technology, is a human
condition which seems to persist beyond all reason. It was thusly with great amusement when a rather erudite
colleague pointed out this Article
on 10 Must-Know Topics in Software Architecture in 2009 by Dion Hinchcliffe. Although much of this article is
well founded, it is certainly presumptuous to declare 2009 a transition year for software architecture. Although, certainly
there will be articles next year extolling 2010 a transitional year for software architecture. |

To further delve into some of the more entertaining future-based topics in the Hinchcliffe
article, the following are worth
noting: |

|
|||||||
To summarize these thoughts in a somewhat more elegant manner, it is useful to quote one of the great software architects
of history, a Mr. Ecclesiastes: |
|||||||
Vanity of vanities. All is vanity. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is
that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. |
