Abstract

Since 2019, the International Software Architecture Qualification board has featured a three-day curriculum for Functional Software Architecture as part of its Advanced Level certification program. We have taught more than 30 trainings based on this curriculum, mostly to audiences with little or no exposure to functional programming. This paper reports on our experience, and how content and delivery of the training has evolved over the past four years.
