Program Overview
Module 1: Getting Started & Intro to Architecture
⏳ ~1 hours
Define software architecture and its role in Agile development.
Explore characteristics of modern web applications and architecture meta-frame.
Module 2: Quality Attributes & Architectural Drivers
⏳ ~1 hours
Understand non-functional requirements—scalability, security, maintainability—and their importance.
Learn how to measure and apply quality attributes to architectural decisions.
Module 3: Architectural Styles & Patterns
⏳ ~1.5 hours
Examine architecture patterns: layered, broker, microservices, client‑server, peer-to-peer, decentralized.
Evaluate each pattern’s trade-offs through practical case examples.
Module 4: Web Architecture & System Decomposition
⏳ ~1.5 hours
Dive into web app architecture: UI tiers, API design, data and application layers.
Learn service decomposition methods (e.g. C4 model, n‑tier architectures).
Module 5: Case Studies & Projects
⏳ ~2 hours
Apply concepts through two hands-on projects: design, evaluate, and refactor an application’s architecture.
Feedback via quizzes and assessments to reinforce learning.
