When learning software development, you can choose the corresponding courses according to your interests and career direction. Software development mainly involves three main directions: WEB development, mobile development and embedded development. The learning content of different directions is different.
WEB development:
- Front-end development: Learn front-end technologies such as CSS3, JavaScript, HTML5, etc., responsible for the user interface design and interaction of websites or applications.
- Back-end development: Learn back-end languages such as PHP, Python, Java, etc., which are used to handle the business logic and database interaction of websites or applications.
Mobile development:
- iOS development: Learn OC (Objective-C) or Swift language for application development on Apple devices.
- Android development: Learn Java or Kotlin language for application development on Android devices.
Embedded development:
- Learn C language: C language is the main language for embedded system development and is used to write low-level system code.
- Basic computer knowledge: In-depth understanding of basic knowledge such as computer architecture, operating system, computer network, etc.
Software is divided into system software and application software, which includes not only programs running on computers, but also files related to these programs.
Therefore, different software development directions require unique knowledge structures. For example, the web development direction requires proficiency in web front-end and web back-end development technologies, as well as familiarity with the use of web development frameworks; the game development direction requires mastery of various game engines, such as U3D engine development, UE4 engine development, etc.; and those engaged in big data development need to be proficient in the use of platforms such as Hadoop and Spark.
Design Patterns and Architecture
· Design Patterns: Learn singleton pattern, observer pattern, factory pattern, etc.
· Architecture Design: Understand architectural patterns such as MVC, MVVM, and Flux.
· State Management: Master state management tools such as Redux, MobX, and Vuex.
Software development includes understanding of user needs, design of functions and algorithms, design of software structure and modules, programming and debugging, program joint debugging, and testing. Using software development tools can improve efficiency.
