Description
"Fundamentals of Software Architecture - A Developer's Guide" is designed for experienced software developers who are eager to transition into the role of a software architect. This course will provide you with the in-depth knowledge and practical skills needed to understand, design, and implement modern software architecture.We will start by exploring the key differences between a developer and an architect, focusing on the mindset shift required to think at a system-wide level. You'll learn about various architectural styles, including monolithic, layered, microservices, event-driven, and serverless architectures. We'll cover the trade-offs involved in selecting the right pattern, helping you make informed decisions that best suit your system's needs.In addition, you will dive into core architecture principles such as component decomposition, communication styles (synchronous vs. asynchronous), data models, and database strategies. We'll also explore how a software architect balances technical decisions with business goals, ensuring scalability, flexibility, and maintainability across the system.The course concludes with a hands-on real-world project, giving you the opportunity to see how architecture principles are applied in practice. You'll bridge the gap between theory and application, learning how to define software components, structure communication, and design a complete architecture from the ground up.By the end of the course, you'll have gained the skills and confidence to take on the challenges of modern software architecture and become a trusted leader in your organization.
