The fastest way to learn to write scalable code on any side of the stack...
...Without reading complex books, watching endless YouTube videos, surface-level courses, or having to learn new frameworks
The Software Essentialist is a new online course that teaches professional JavaScript developers how to write scalable, testable code, fast.
The 12 Essentials pave a clear path to master the most important parts of:
- Domain-Driven Design
- Test-Driven Development
- Object-Oriented Design
- Functional Programming
- Design Patterns
- Design Principles
- Architectural Styles & Patterns
- Architectural Principles
- DevOps & Continuous Delivery
- and more...
More
Using the new FA²STR framework, you'll learn a consistent, repeatable process to approach any development challenge from first-principles-based thinking instead of code-first, unmaintainable approaches.
You'll build features for 5+ projects from first principles (backend, frontend, desktop, chrome extension, custom integration, etc).
As a Software Essentialist, you'll know how to:
- apply the 12 Essentials to your backend TypeScript APIs
- apply the 12 Essentials to your frontend React applications
- save doomed codebases
- design custom abstractions
- and more...
