No
Shortcut
— a developer's blog
I am a Senior Software Engineer. I write some interactive articles and explorable explanations, to experiment with ideas, train ourselves and expose fundamentals, concepts and mindset.
Because without practicing, learning is tough. Without concrete cases, theory is hard.
Software Engineering is a vast field, with a lot to know: algorithms, data structures, design patterns, architecture, TDD, Object Oriented Design and Principles, Network, Functional Programming, Databases, DDD, eXtreme Programming...
And Software Engineering is not only technical: most important skills are the craftsmanmindset and attitude, toward code and people.
There is no shortcut: all this knowledge is linked, each one built on top or solving a problem of another one.
