Software Engineering Reference

A comprehensive reference guide for software engineering concepts, patterns, and practices. This repository covers everything from object-oriented principles to distributed systems design, making it ideal for interview preparation, skill development, and quick reference.

216 markdown files with 1,065 SVG diagrams — every concept is explained with visual diagrams, code examples, and interview discussion points.

How to Use This Reference

1. Interview Preparation — Start with Data Structures & Algorithms for coding interviews, then move to Distributed Systems for system design interviews
2. Skill Development — Work through sections sequentially, as they build upon each other
3. Quick Reference — Use the table of contents to jump directly to specific topics
4. Deep Dive — Each markdown file contains visual SVG diagrams, code examples, and interview discussion points
