Text version of this roadmap

1. Foundations

  • Clean Architecture: Dependency rule, layers (entities, use cases, interfaces, frameworks), and testability.
  • MVC Pattern: Model-View-Controller separation, thin controllers, fat models, and framework implementations.
  • Event-Driven Design: Event sourcing, CQRS, domain events, message brokers, and eventual consistency.

2. Core Concepts

  • SOLID Principles: Single responsibility, open-closed, Liskov substitution, interface segregation, dependency inversion.
  • Design Patterns: Gang of Four patterns: creational (factory, singleton), structural (adapter, proxy), behavioral (observer, strategy).
  • Dependency Injection: Inversion of control, DI containers, constructor injection, and trade-offs vs service locator.

3. Intermediate Skills

  • Hexagonal Architecture: Ports and adapters, domain-centric design, and infrastructure isolation for testability.
