Here's a map describing the breadth of software design and architecture, from clean code to microkernels:

The very first step towards creating long-lasting software is figuring out how to write clean code. Writing clean code means to write meaningful, consistent code. Ensuring all tests are passing, having gode code convetions, etc.

It would be good to understand some of the major programming paradigms, such as: OO programming, Functional programming and Structured programming.

OOP comes with the 4 principles of OOP (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorhism, and abstraction) that help us create rich domain models. It is important to understand it, because if you can create a mental-model of a business, you can create a software implementation of that business.

Design principles are really well-established and battle-tested object-oriented best practices that you use as railguards. Some examples are: Composition over inheritance, Encapsulate what varies, Program against abstractions, not implementation, etc.

There are 3 categories of design patterns: creational, structural, and behaviour. Learn it very well.

We now understand that the decisions we make towards organzing and building relationships between components at the high-level and the low-level, will have a significant impact on the maintainability, flexibility, and testability of our project. Learn the guiding principles that helps you build in the flexibility that your codebase needs in order to be able to react to new features and requirements.

It's about identifying what a system needs in order for it to be successful, and then stacking the odds of success by choosing the architecture that best fits the requirements. For example, a system that has a lot of business logic complexity would benefit from using a layered architecture to encapsulate that complexity.

Tjey explain in greater tactical detail how to actually implement one of those architectural styles. Some examples are: Domain-Driven Design, MVC, etc.
