Get to know the tools of the software trade! Understand the fundamentals of good software design and development, from object-oriented principles to clean code guidelines. Once you have a solid foundation, get your hands dirty with sample programs that use software architecture and design patterns like MVC, factory, chain of responsibility, adapter, and many more. Every program will walk you step by step through a problem, its context, its solution, and relevant limitations. With information on creating good documentation and implementing best practices, this comprehensive guide will improve your applications!

• Understand the fundamentals of good software design
• Master architecture, design, application organization, documentation, and more
• Learn to use essential design patterns by following detailed code examples

Mastering Fundamentals
Create extensible, maintainable, and high-quality applications with the help of design principles and patterns. Understand good software design, the basic principles of software development, and the tools you need as a software developer.

Thinking Outside the Box
Walk through approaches to achieve good software design—independent of classic design patterns. Learn about object-oriented principles, define functions and methods, ensure the quality of your code with unit tests, and more.
