Delve into software architecture, exploring key principles, patterns, and quality attributes. Gain insights with case studies and projects, enhancing your practical skills in system design and optimization.

Software Architecture in Applications-01.png

This course offers a deep dive into the world of software architecture. It’s designed to equip software developers and architects with the knowledge and skills necessary to create, evaluate, and optimize software systems. The course covers a range of critical topics to ensure a strong foundation in architectural principles and strategies.

You will start by exploring architectural concepts and the relationship between quality attributes, requirements, and architectural styles. You’ll also examine different architectural patterns and strategies, including centralized and decentralized architecture, layered pattern, broker pattern, and microservices. Then, you’ll go into the details of important quality attributes needed while developing an architecture.

The course is equipped with multiple case studies and two projects to further enhance learning. These real-world scenarios and hands-on projects are strategically incorporated to give learners practical insights.

Software Architecture in Applications

# Overview 
**Web architecture** refers to the design and structure of a website, including how the various components of the website work together to deliver content to users. Well-designed web architecture can improve the performance, scalability, and maintainability of a website.


# Components of web architecture
Several key components make up the architecture of a website:


+ **Client:** This is the device or software that a user interacts with to access a website, such as a web browser, mobile app, or desktop application.


+ **Server:** This is the computer or group of computers that host the website and serve the content to users. The server runs software such as a web server, which listens for client requests and sends the appropriate content in response.


+ **Network:** This infrastructure connects the client and server, allowing them to communicate. This can include the internet, a local network, or a combination.


+ **Content:** This is the information presented to the user, such as text, images, and video.


+ **Database:** This system is for storing and organizing data, such as user information or content for the website. The server can query the database to retrieve and present relevant information to the user.


# Examples of web architecture
There are many different ways to design the architecture of a website, and the choice of architecture will depend on the specific needs and goals of the website. Here are a few examples of common web architecture patterns:
