About this course
As we create increasingly complex projects, we worry not just about writing new code, but how that code is going to fit in with the rest of our application. When we stop being able to add new code effectively, we stop being able to solve new problems, grinding progress to a halt. Software design helps us to create software that can adapt to change over time. This allows us to create software that can continuously improve and adapt to our users’ changing needs.
