While this question isn’t specific to .NET, I would greatly value any related insights from that perspective. As a novice software developer without senior guidance, I create internal tools for my organization and often encounter difficulties with software architecture, database design, and logical organization. Can anyone recommend effective resources to help me understand project planning, particularly in drawing class and UML diagrams? I’m also curious about online courses that focus on these topics since most are centered around project management approaches like Gantt charts and agile frameworks. Your recommendations would be immensely helpful.
Additionally, I frequently work on Blazor web applications for various business needs, which typically involve file uploads and downloads, file creation, user authentication, database interactions, integration with third-party systems like ERP solutions, payment processing, and Azure services.
hey Iris72, curious if you’ve considered using visual studio’s built-in tools for diagramming and architecture. they can be quite handy for visualizing your projects! you might find experimenting with different diagram types enlightening. how do you usually approach drafting your initial design plans?
An effective way to improve your understanding of software architecture principles and best practices is through online courses that specifically focus on software design and architecture. Websites like Pluralsight and Coursera offer structured courses tailored for beginners that cover topics like design patterns, application of UML diagrams, and comprehensive architecture practices. Additionally, exploring the documentation and beginner guides for .NET and Blazor, provided by Microsoft, can offer valuable insights that directly relate to the technologies you frequently use in your projects, helping you bridge the gap between theory and practical applications.
Hey Iris72! Books like “Clean Architecture” by Uncle Bob might help tons with understanding solid architectural principles. it’s incredibly insightful even for .NET devs. Also, engaging with GitHub repos can give you real projects to study. learning by dissecting others’ work is super effective!
Hey Iris72! Have you tried looking into community meetup groups or even online forums specifically focusing on blazor apps? they can be great places for shared experiences and ideas on software architecture and related challenges. Have any particular architecture patterns seemed promising to you so far?
