Learning about Code Structure

[samjay22 (Dev)]

A popular topic on the Roblox platform questions about how to structure and design your code. I have started a major series about exactly that. This post will contain every post as they come out. I will be updating this list constantly.

For now, I have two posts, if you have any questions let me know!

Writing Clean Code Part 1 || What is Software Architecture and Design, and why do I care?

With this out of the way, let’s get into who I am. I am Samuel Taylor, at the time of writing th…

Writing Clean Code Part 2 || What is SOLID? How do I use it? Why do I care?

Before I get into the main part of this post, I want to make sure everyone has read Part 1 of this series. This talks about what System Architecture and Design are and why we should even care.

For those wondering, this is 100% an educational resource and is much needed on the Roblox platform. There is an entire section dedicated to specifically this. And as a software engineer, I have decided to share what I have learned with you all.

As a teacher professionally I am interested in partnering with willing individuals to create a curriculum to better help those that want to go more in-depth with this subject. Also, my articles are open source, if you would like to use my works as an educational reference it is fully allowed, however, I must receive credit.
