Software Engineering Reference

Overview

This repository serves as a centralized knowledge base for software engineering concepts, best practices, algorithms, design patterns, and career development resources. It supports my mastery-based learning approach by providing structured reference materials across multiple domains of software engineering.

Purpose

The primary purposes of this repository are:

  1. Consolidate learning across multiple programming languages and paradigms
  2. Document best practices and design patterns for reference
  3. Create a searchable knowledge base for technical concepts
  4. Support career development with comprehensive resources
  5. Maintain reference materials for interviews and technical discussions
  6. Facilitate knowledge transfer between different technology stacks

Acknowledgements

This project was developed with assistance from Anthropic's Claude AI assistant, which helped with:

  • Documentation writing and organization
  • Code structure suggestions
  • Troubleshooting and debugging assistance

Claude was used as a development aid while all final implementation decisions and code review were performed by the human developer.
