Chapter 12. Do It Yourself: Testing Your Knowledge
Ready to test your skills in creating a distributed architecture? In this chapter, you’re the software architect. You’ll be determining architectural characteristics, building a logical architecture, making architectural decisions, and deciding whether to use microservices or event-driven architecture. The exercises in this chapter will give you an end-to-end view of what a software architect does and show you how much you’ve learned. Get ready to create an architecture for a student standardized test–taking system called Make the Grade. Good luck—we hope you get an A on your architecture!
Welcome to Make the Grade
Congratulations—you’ve just been hired by Dataville Public Schools to build a new system for standardized testing. All students in a specific grade level will take the same test to determine how well students, teachers, and the schools are doing.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
