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.

This course delves into the **history of software architecture**, tracing its evolution from early computing systems to modern distributed architectures. You'll learn about key milestones, influential figures, and paradigm shifts that shaped the field. The course combines theoretical insights with practical case studies to illustrate how historical context influences contemporary design decisions. Topics include: - The origins of software architecture in early computing - The rise of modular and object-oriented design - The impact of the internet and distributed systems - Modern architectural patterns and their historical roots - Future trends and lessons from the past

This beginner-friendly course is designed to introduce you to Figma, the leading UI/UX design tool. You'll learn how to navigate the Figma interface, use essential design tools, and create your first projects. By the end of the course, you'll be comfortable using Figma to design mobile apps, websites, and more. The course includes hands-on exercises and practical examples to reinforce your learning. No prior design experience is required!
