Software Architecture

Software Architecture is the practice of designing and managing large, complex software systems. It involves not only the structure of software systems but also their functionality, performance, resilience, reusability, and comprehensibility. Coursera's Software Architecture catalogue helps you gain an in-depth understanding of the principles and patterns behind system design. You'll learn how to deal with system complexity, understand design principles such as abstraction, modularity, and hierarchy, and familiarize yourself with architectural styles and patterns. Furthermore, you'll gain insight into the trade-offs involved in designing and implementing software architectures, and learn how to evaluate different architectures for their suitability to a given problem or application context. This knowledge will empower you to create effective, efficient, and robust software systems for various industries and applications.
