Software Architecture
Fundamentals of Software Architectures
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of software architecture and system design. You will learn how to structure applications, choose the right architectural patterns, and make good technical decisions for building scalable, secure, and maintainable software systems.
We will cover key topics such as architectural styles (monolith, layered, microservices), design principles, system components, documentation, and real-world architecture decision-making. By the end of this course, you will be able to analyze, design, and explain the architecture of modern software applications.
This course is ideal for students, junior developers, and developers who want to move toward system design and software architecture.

Course Objectives
Explain what software architecture is and distinguish it from design and implementation.
Understand the role of software architecture in building scalable, secure, and maintainable systems.
Identify and explain key quality attributes such as scalability, performance, security, reliability, and maintainability.
Apply core architecture principles like separation of concerns, modularity, coupling, and cohesion.
Prerequisites
Basic programming knowledge in at least one language (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript, or C#).
Basic understanding of how web or software applications work (frontend, backend, database concepts).
Familiarity with basic software development concepts such as functions, classes, and modules.
General knowledge of using a computer and development tools (code editor, running programs, browsing documentation).

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
