    Understanding Web Application Architecture

    Web application architecture defines how components like front-end and back-end interact within an application.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.1.1

    Monolithic Architecture

    Monolithic architecture is a traditional design approach where the entire application is managed within a single codebase, simplifying initial development but complicating maintenance as the application scales.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.1.2

    Microservices Architecture

    Microservices Architecture involves breaking down applications into smaller, independent services, enhancing scalability and maintainability.

    Scalable And Maintainable Design Patterns

    This section covers the essential design patterns that support scalability and maintainability in full-stack development.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.4.1

    Mvc Pattern (Model-View-Controller)

    The MVC pattern separates an application into three interconnected components, allowing for efficient organization and management of code.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.4.2

    Restful Apis

    RESTful APIs allow web applications to interact through standard HTTP methods, promoting scalability and standardization.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.4.3

    Dependency Injection

    Dependency Injection is a design pattern that enhances the modularity, testability, and maintainability of code by passing dependencies into components.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.4.4

    Event-Driven Architecture

    Event-driven architecture allows components of a system to communicate asynchronously through events, decoupling services for better scalability and responsiveness.
