## What it is
A visual roadmap and mind map guiding junior, self-taught, and intermediate developers through learning software design and architecture. It accompanies the SOLID wiki and related articles, covering topics like design patterns, SOLID principles, and architectural styles.

## Use cases
- learn software design and architecture
- find a roadmap for becoming a better software architect
- understand SOLID principles and design patterns
- plan a self-taught path to clean architecture
- figure out what architecture topics to study next

## When to choose
- you want a structured visual map of software design and architecture topics
- you are a junior or self-taught developer unsure what to learn next
- you want curated links to books and resources on architecture

## When to avoid
- you need executable code, libraries, or tools
- you want an in-depth course rather than a high-level map
- you need up-to-date content - the repo has seen little activity since 2023
