Software Architecture

Introduction to Software Architecture: Software architecture is a critical discipline in software engineering that deals with the high-level structure and organization of a software system. It provides a blueprint for designing and building software, defining how components interact, and determining the system's behaviour. Software architecture plays a vital role in achieving the desired quality attributes, such as scalability, performance, security, and maintainability. Definition of Software Architecture: Software architecture refers to the fundamental structure of a software system, which comprises its components, their relationships, and their interactions. It defines the system's organization, making it easier to understand, develop, and maintain. The architecture influences the system's quality attributes and helps stakeholders make informed decisions throughout the development process. Architectural Qualities: Architectural qualities, also known as architectural attr...

Conquering the Code: 150 Must-Solve Coding Assessments

                                Photo by olia danilevich In the world of software engineering, interviews can be quite challenging. They often involve a series of coding assessments that test not only your knowledge but also your problem-solving skills, algorithmic thinking, and coding proficiency. The quest to secure your dream job can be daunting, but with determination and the right approach, it's entirely achievable. The Journey Begins I embarked on a journey to tackle these coding assessments head-on. I committed myself to completing 150 of the most must-solve coding challenges, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. This blog post is not just a bragging right; it's an insight into how I managed to overcome the hurdles and what motivated me throughout the journey. My goal is to inspire and guide those of you who are on a similar path. So, here are some valuable takeaw...

Prompt Engineering & Orchestration

                              Photo by Andrea Piacquadio Prompt engineering is a buzzword, especially for Software Development. Today we are going to learn by developing a very simple application. We are going to assemble a set of prompts into a working prototype service, utilizing orchestration tools to link multiple calls to AI. Python code below import json import requests # Define the AI endpoints ai_endpoints = {     "text_generation": "https://api.openai.com/v1/engines/davinci/completions",     "image_generation": "https://api.openai.com/v1/images/generation" } # Define the orchestration tool class Orchestrator:     def __init__(self):         self.ai_endpoints = ai_endpoints     def call_ai(self, endpoint, prompt):         headers = {             "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KE...

High-level Architectural Patterns and Low-level Design Patterns

                                                                                                              Photo by Alex Fu Let's discuss high-level architectural patterns and low-level design patterns to solve software problems. High-level architectural patterns are patterns that describe the overall structure of a software system. They are used to design systems that are scalable, maintainable, and reliable. Some examples of high-level architectural patterns include: Model-View-Controller (MVC) Client-Server Microservices Event-Driven Architecture Low-level design patterns are patterns that describe the design of individual components within a softwar...
