At 5.6/10, Software Design Simplified has a working base to build on - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Why should I trust you?
I love explaining the complex in simple terms I've mentored engineers to reach that "Eureka!" moment I've practiced design in real life codebases for 15 years I've learned from some of the best coaches in the world This $4.99 book comes with a money back guarantee and can be read in an afternoon.
What if this book doesn't work for me?
If you don't like the book or don't find it valuable, I'll give you a full refund. I only ask you join me on a Zoom and explain why so that I can make the book better for the next engineer.
I can find this explained on YouTube for free. Why should I pay for a book?
I've watched hundreds of hours of videos, read all the major books on design and spent hundreds more hours experimenting with design in codebases. I've condensed the most important principles into this practical 70 page guide. It'll save you hours of stitching together the same information on your own.
Does the book include any tutorials?
Yes! At the end of the book, you'll find a task. Submit your code for review to get personalised pointers on how to improve. The code that backs the C# .NET version is in this repo. Buy Ruby / Rails Edition ($4.99) Buy C# / .NET Edition ($4.99)
