Physical Architecture and Deployment in Object-Oriented Design

Software design is more than just writing code; you must understand how your object-oriented modules, classes, and packages translate into physical runtime components and deployment environments. This course bridges the gap between logical object-oriented design and physical system architecture, ensuring your applications are scalable, maintainable, and ready for production. You will start with the fundamental definitions of the physical view, learn to structure your code for deployment, and explore how software runs in real-world environments. By completing this text-only course, you will be able to organize your application components for seamless deployment, configure modern web servers, and align your code with automated delivery workflows. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of the physical view in object-oriented software architecture - Structure object-oriented codebases into modular, deployable components - Configure web servers and application runtimes to host your software efficiently - Integrate modern CI/CD pipeline patterns to automate testing and deployment - Apply containerization fundamentals to package applications with their dependencies - Manage environment configurations and deployment variables securely This course begins with essential architectural terminology and foundational design principles before moving into practical deployment strategies, server configurations, and pipeline automation. You will learn through clear, step-by-step written explanations and practical code examples. This course is designed for beginner software developers, aspiring system architects, and object-oriented programmers who want to understand how software moves from a local development environment to production. No prior deployment experience is required. Start mastering the physical side of software design today.
