The Accuracy of Code, the Wisdom of the Samurai: Mastering the Path of Software Development
This category includes component design, user experience considerations, algorithmic design, and quality assurance in order to ensure that applications are well-structured, scalable, and efficient.
Connecting frontend apps to backend services is a vital task in the tech world. There are effective strategies for this. We’ll explore the Backend For Frontend (BFF) design pattern, commonly used in distributed systems and microservices.
Migrating from monolithic apps to efficient ones is a widespread software challenge. Fortunately, there’s a proven strategy that can guide this process, known as the Strangler Fig Pattern. Coined by Martin Fowler, this pattern outlines a gradual approach to migrating a application by iteratively transferring its functionality to a new system. The end result is a more readable, maintainable, and feature-rich application that aligns with modern technology trends.
Domain Driven Design, also known as DDD, is a software design technique that employs the Business Domain as a guiding principle and models it as a means of communication between business experts and technology professionals.
As Tolkien wrote, “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them”. Software architecture arise when creating a project with the intention of addressing all current and anticipated code organization problems. However, some programmers tend to use the same architecture that worked for them in previous projects, assuming it will work in the current one, but that is not always correct.
As a junior programmer in object-oriented languages, I learned that extension (or subclassing) eliminates duplicate code. Two subclasses with the same parent and common behavior move that code to the parent, removing it from the children. It became a code reuse mantra, but also one of my early programming vices.
