Which architecture course comes first?

If application layers and dependency rules are new to you, start with Pragmatic Clean Architecture. If you already use those patterns and need to split a growing system into modules, start with Modular Monolith Architecture. REST APIs is an independent path for HTTP API design.

Which problem are you solving?

Choose by what your project needs: application structure, business modules, or HTTP API design. Each course stands on its own.
