This is my site for fun and work. I am Sander, a software architect.

Centrical is my playground. Blogs, news and resources are updated regularly.

My articles are published on Infoworld, AutomatiseringsGids and Emerce, too.

I gather worldwide news, whether it is about e-commerce or service oriented architectures.

My resume, the Web Unified Process and the general conditions are offered in several formats.

Some more information about me is shown here, like a resume, professional history and more.

Things I do are audits, architecture design and strategic advice.

Read the cases of customers like Akzo Nobel, Sanoma Publishers and VNU.

To contact Centrical, you could either use the contact information or fill out the contact form.

A short overview on what this website has to offer is shown here.

Stuff that happens to me sometimes inspires me to write. It may be nonsense, though.

WUP (Web Unified Process) is a lightweight and agile development method for web projects.

This where I keep technical posts that might come in handy.

Middleware is terug

Middleware is terug verscheen in Infoworld.

Service oriented architecture (soa) is de kurk waarop de ontwikkeling drijft van veel nieuwe softwareplatforms. Het doel van soa is kostenbesparing, maar daar zijn een paar voorwaarden aan verbonden. Een daarvan is het gebruik van een integratielaag. Middleware is terug van weggeweest.

Nature doesn't refactor

There's a very simple assumption that you could make about good design: good design lets you change software cheaply in the future. If it is hard to change a program, then you could say it isn't properly designed. Since most software is subject to a lot of change during its lifecycle, spending time thinking on good design is definitely worth it.
