Understanding a System
What do you do to understand?
I teach a course on System Architecture. It is a three-day course attended by experienced developers who want to go further in some respect.
What strikes me most is that the majority has never read any architecture document. Since writing such documents is one of the main topics of the course, I have a long road for them as they haven't read any.
So, when you are faced with a system that you are about to change, how do you go about to understand it?
