Who is this Course for?
This course is meant for software developers, aspiring architects,
product managers, product owners, engineering managers, IT consultants
and anyone looking to get a firm grasp on the fundamentals of web and
software architecture.
If you are a beginner just starting your career in software development,
this course will strengthen your fundamentals in the domain. 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.
This course, along with the Zero to System Architecture learning path, will help you with your software engineering interviews, especially
for the full-stack developer positions. By the end of the course, you’ll
have a comprehensive insight into 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.
Will this Course be Helpful In My Career Growth?
This course is the most effective way to learn web services architecture and design, saving you months, if not more, of your time. During the initial years of my career, I found the resources (primarily books) written by domain experts significantly overwhelming to comprehend. I looked for something that would help me understand web architecture in a simplified step-by-step way as opposed to getting lost in technical complexity. But I couldn't find it.
This course serves precisely the same pain point. I wish I had a similar product in the initial years of my career.
Moreover, mastering web services architecture gives us an edge as a developer or in any role that entails technical decision-making. When implementing new features in our application, designing new modules from the bare bones, or when trying to scale our service, we can make better decisions by applying our architectural knowledge, saving ourselves or our employer a boatload of money. This skill will make you stand out amongst your peers.
Most internet companies today have an essential software design round in their interviews, regardless of whether you are an absolute beginner or someone with years of industry experience. This is primarily because they want you to be an individual contributor. They want you to take ownership of your work and be capable of designing and building software from the bare bones all by yourself, without relying on anyone for assistance.
The Zero to System Architecture Learning path (this course included) prepares you for just that, helping you get a grip on web services architecture. I've spent a decade working on large-scale distributed services for the big guns in the industry, going from idea to production, including building systems from scratch for myself, and I've put that experience into the content.
Investing in this course will significantly increase your knowledge in the domain, subsequently increasing your pay scale.
