Ask HN: Resources/discussions about program architecture This might have been asked many times before, in that case apologies, I'm possibly searching wrong. First of: I am a software developer since many years, in a small company, without very complex applications, sadly no mentors or alike (more developers but we are all in the same situation). So, every time I'm trying to develop a non-simple application I'm finding I have no idea on how to make a thoughtful (or even working) architecture for it. I have several hobby projects stalled because I just don't manage to progress without making an unworkable mess. I realize the question is somewhat open-ended, but what I am looking for might be something like walk-throughs/discussions in REAL semi-complex applications. Something that approches actually designing an application together with a mentor. Everything goes: books, talks, youtube-channels, podcasts, ... For example, in a complex text-editor:
I know how to do the small stuff like actually reading input.I am not looking for the usual design-patterns, refactoring pieces, language tutorials, etc. What I have tried:
Books that have helped me: Modern software engineering, A philosophy of software design.The latter book talks about mentoring lead discussion groups about application coding, that is something I would probably be very much helped by. Sorry for the long rant, hopefully one of you fine people will have some input. |
