Class Notes:
Description:
In this class we'll discuss how the Architecture of a Web App actually works. We'll discuss everything from the Front End, to the Back End Languages, Data Stores, Databases, Caching Systems, Web Servers and more.
We'll talk about maintenance overhead, security concerns and the all important TCO.
When you build your web application it's important to design and code it for the environment that it will be dropped into. A lot of time and money can be wasted by simply building off out based off of poorly thought out ideas.
We will discuss:
Front End Design
Back end languages
Data Stores
Databases
Concepts in Security
Thinking about ongoing maintenance
Understanding Caching
Clusters and Reverse Proxy Servers
and more...
This class sounds like a comprehensive deep dive into web application architecture! Understanding both front-end and back-end design, along with databases, caching, and security, is crucial for building scalable and efficient applications. One key aspect that ties into this discussion is facade design architecture—a structural approach that simplifies complex interactions between different system components. By implementing a facade pattern, developers can create a cleaner, more maintainable codebase while improving performance and security.
