Software is complex, and the architecture of those systems often is intangible. Dependency matrices are a way of making architecture very concrete. This talk will show how to use NDepend’s Dependency Matrix to improve the structure of our applications.

One of the best meetings this season. Excellent speaker. Only improvement I would make would be to adjust the winner of the dev teach pass ;-)

Sould be very interest. Reducing complexity is always challenging as the architecture grows.
