What Is This Course About? Why Take It?

This course is a 101 on web application architecture. It walks you step by step through different concepts and components concepts involved in designing the architecture of a web application. We’ll learn about various architectural styles such as the client-server, peer to peer decentralized architecture, microservices, the fundamentals of data flow in a web application, different layers that are involved, concepts like scalability, high availability and much more.

Along with the concepts I also discuss real world implementations of some large scale services.

In this course, I go through the techniques of picking the right architecture and the technology stack to implement our use case. I walk you through different use cases which will help you gain an insight into what technology and architecture fits best for a certain use case when writing a web application. You’ll come to understand the technology trade-offs involved.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a comprehensive insight into the web application architecture. If you have a startup idea and you are asking yourself, how do I implement my app? What technologies do I use? Where do I start? This course will help you kickstart your entrepreneurial journey.

Importance Of Knowledge Of Software Architecture

Knowing software architecture gives us an edge as a software developer. When implementing new features in our application, when designing new modules from the bare bones or when trying to scale our service, we can make better decisions by applying our architecture knowledge saving ourselves or our employer a ton of money.

This skill will make you stand out amongst your peers.

Most of the internet companies today have an essential software design round in their interviews regardless of you being an absolute beginner or someone having years of experience in the industry.

And this is for a reason, they want you to be an individual contributor. They want you to take the ownership of your work and be capable of writing software from the bare bones all by yourself, without relying on anyone for assistance.

And to be able to do that, besides having the ability to write performant code, you should also have a clear understanding of software architecture.

Who Is This Course For? Are There Any Prerequisites?

There is no prerequisite to taking this course. It is meant for anyone looking to have a firm grasp on software architecture and designing web applications. This course will help you strengthen your fundamentals in the domain.

If you are a beginner just starting your career in software development, this course will help you a lot. Designing software is like fitting Lego blocks together. With this course, you’ll develop an insight into how to fit them together and build cool stuff.

It will also help you with the software engineering interviews, especially for the full stack developer positions.

This course does not contain any code. Instead, it provides a thorough discussion on architectural concepts with the help of several illustrations to help you understand the concepts better.

Here is some of feedback given by the course takers:

Aiden Campbell

Software Engineer at Bravelab.io

This is probably the most accessible and best-written resource for a quick, in-depth architecture overview. Highly recommended for beginners who want to gain a better understanding of web architecture & experienced developers looking for a refresher.

Vibhav Kushwaha

Software Engineer

This course is way better than I thought it would be. How the topics are discussed in this course helped me big time in building my understanding of large-scale systems. It provides a holistic view of web architecture.

Anne Chepkeitany

Senior Software Engineer

I do have experience as an engineer in the industry but going back to some basics on when to decide on a specific architecture, database or when to decide between hybrid and native apps has been quite helpful. Real-world industry use case references are pretty insightful.

Aditya Vandan Sharma

Full Stack Developer

This course will put you upto speed on the fundamentals of system design. It helped me get better at answering system design interview questions. Learned a lot.

Paul Karugu

Software Developer

The course is easy to follow, the examples are great. Illustrations made it easy to visualize & understand the concepts better. I had fun, excited to acquire this new knowledge and it will always be my reference when it comes to systems architecture.
