Study Notes
Software Development
- Software development is a crucial process for creating innovative and reliable software solutions.
- It involves several key stages: designing, creating, deploying, and maintaining the software.
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Planning: Defining project objectives, scope, and requirements; gathering information, identifying stakeholders, and creating a project plan.
- Analysis: Detailed analysis of project requirements, including user needs, problem definition, and feasibility assessment.
- Design: Creating technical specifications, architecture, and user interface for the software, including database design, data flow, and system structure.
- Implementation (Coding): Developing the software based on the design specifications. Using various programming languages and tools.
- Testing: Thoroughly testing the software to ensure it meets the required functions and specifications. This includes unit, integration, and system testing.
- Deployment: Installing the software, configuring the deployment environment, and ensuring a smooth transition. This includes making the software available to users.
- Maintenance: Ongoing support, bug fixes, and enhancements to the software. This includes monitoring performance, addressing feedback, and implementing updates.
Software Design Patterns
- Design patterns are reusable solutions to common problems in software design.
- These patterns provide a well-documented and structured approach to solving recurring design issues.
- Creational Patterns: Focus on object creation mechanisms. Examples include Singleton, Factory, and Abstract Factory.
- Structural Patterns: Concerned with how classes and objects are composed to form larger structures. Examples include Adapter, Decorator, and Facade.
- Behavioral Patterns: Concerned with interaction and responsibilities between objects. Examples include Observer, Strategy, and Command.
- The benefits of using Design patterns: promotes reusability, modularity, and maintainability, providing a common vocabulary and documentation.
Careers in Software Development
- Software Engineer: Designs, develops, and maintains software applications and systems, including coding, testing, and debugging.
- Front-End Developer: Building user interfaces and interactive components of a web application. Using technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Back-End Developer: Focuses on server-side logic, database management, and API development.
- Full-Stack Developer: Skilled in both front-end and back-end development, responsible for the entire development of a web application.
- Mobile App Developer: Creates mobile applications for iOS and Android platforms. Using frameworks or native SDKs.
- DevOps Engineer: Bridges the gap between development and operations, automating software deployment and infrastructure management processes.
Singleton Pattern
- A creational design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to one object.
- Ensures a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it.
- Useful when controlling the number of instances of a class and providing a centralized point of access.
- Benefits: Centralized instance management, reduced memory footprint, improved performance, global point of access.
- Implementation: Private constructor, private static instance variable, public static getInstance() method. (Optional) thread-safe getInstance() method, and lazy initialization.
- Lazy Initialization: Creates the instance only when it's first accessed— reducing unnecessary object creation overhead.
- Eager Initialization: Creates the instance when the class is loaded—the instance is available throughout the program's lifetime.
