Unlike skyscrapers, doghouses are simple units. They do not require plumbing, electricity, fire alarms, elevators, or ventilation systems, and they do not need to be built to code or pass inspections. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range of complexity in software design is similar. Given available software tools and libraries--many of which are free--hobbyists can build small or short-lived computer apps. Yet, design for software longevity, security, and efficiency can be intricate--as is the design of large-scale systems. How can a software developer prepare to manage such complexity?
