Practical software engineering and cloud skills for builders — full-stack SaaS development, AWS/Azure/GCP cloud architecture, systems and enterprise programming languages (C++, Rust, Go, Java, C#), mobile app development, API design, and DevOps workflows. Interactive tools that generate real, production-ready code and blueprints.
Interactive 8-step wizard to build a full-stack AI-powered SaaS — enter your own idea, get personalized SQL schema, file structure, .env templates, git commands, and a complete launch blueprint. Covers Next.js 15, Supabase, Groq AI, and Vercel. No API key needed.
Design and document REST and GraphQL APIs visually. Define endpoints, request/response schemas, authentication methods, and error codes. Export as OpenAPI 3.0 spec or Postman collection.
Plan your software architecture visually — microservices, monoliths, event-driven systems. Select components, draw data flows, and export as a shareable diagram with technology annotations.
Visual ERD builder for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. Define tables, relationships, indexes, and constraints. Auto-generate migration SQL and ORM models for Prisma, Drizzle, and TypeORM.
Write and run real SQL against an in-browser sample database — no server, no signup. Supports SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, LIMIT, and INNER JOIN, with example queries to load and modify.
Build UML class diagrams visually — add classes with attributes and methods, draw association/inheritance/composition/aggregation relationships, and export as Mermaid class diagram syntax.
Build a multi-container architecture visually — add services, wire up depends_on relationships, and export a real docker-compose.yml. Includes web+DB+cache and microservices+gateway starter templates.
Interactive Big-O time and space complexity reference for 27 algorithms and data structures — sorting, searching, graph traversal, trees, and hash tables. Filter by category, sort by complexity, with growth rate comparison chart.
Live regular expression tester with match highlighting, capture group display, and a 12-pattern library (email, IP, UUID, date, hex color, Docker image, env vars). JavaScript RegExp engine. Matches update as you type.
Decode and inspect JSON Web Tokens. View the header algorithm (HS256/RS256/ES256), all payload claims with human-readable timestamps, expiry status badge, and algorithm security guidance. 100% client-side — no data sent anywhere.
Software engineering has no government license — competence is shown through demonstrated skill, a portfolio of shipped work, and (increasingly) cloud and platform certifications. This overview maps the foundational skills every engineer needs (data structures, web development, system design) plus the cloud-developer and DevOps certifications that carry weight in hiring, what each covers, and how to prepare.
SWE Fundamentals prep: data structures & complexity, OOP/design patterns, Git, testing, SQL, HTTP/APIs, and engineering practices.
