Will you consider sharing your subject matter expertise with others?
31 March 2021
On Thursday 25 March 2021, two of our ACS members; Jason Bushby MACS CP, Senior Mainframe Developer, ATO and Sarah-Louise MacDonald AACS, Principal Business Architect, Pegasystems and member of ACS Canberra Branch Executive Committee; took time to share their knowledge and experiences with a group of 60+ new members at an ACS Masterclass for the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA)’s 2021 “Digital Emerging Talent Programs”.
At this masterclass Jason presented "Software Challenge - Mainframe Log Search" and Sarah-Louise shared her insights on "Elegance in simplicity – Design principles for software and application designers".
"Feedback from attendees was very positive and encouraging. Participants enjoyed both presenters and thought the topics were useful both now and into the future" - DTA staff.
“This is most engaging live conference presentation I’ve ever seen, learnt new terms + future outlook" - Attendee.
The key learning outcomes were:
#1: Incremental improvement over a long time achieves wonders
#2: There are many ways to get things done
#3: Expect the unexpected
#4: Choose technology based on results rather than history or hype
#5: Using common software design concepts to simplify the design of software applications will help save time and money and make it much easier to achieve long term strategic goals. These principles when applied to existing standards, patterns and tools within an organization will allow attendees to create multiple design views to address the concerns of different stakeholders and to assist with designing components of larger software systems.
A big shout out and thanks to Jason and Sarah-Louise for delivering informative and engaging presentations to make a successful event. Your contributions are very much appreciated.
