This is how I approach learning a software

To know about exactly how a software works, we can add these search phrases in our search engine:
1. E2E SDLC
2. Tech Stack & System Design

I don't have a formal background in Computer Science fundamentals from college/university but have always loved computers since early childhood (when I was about 4) and found everything about it fascinating. From seeing the person holding the bug in Windows 98, fearing it would exit from through the ports and crawl up on me, to how Google runs its real-time analytics, I was and am always curious.

So if I want to know about how a fintech-platform F or any other platform works, I can search:
1. F E2E SDLC -> (To know what is involved literally from 0 to the place where its now)
2. F Tech Stack & System Design -> (To know what tools/softwares were used to run the frontend and backend plus the architecture design)

I might not find everything about it as it might be proprietary but I now have the direction. I can walk along, picking up orbs on the path.

This post might relate to many people who have the same questions. I hope it helps even a little bit. You are very much welcome to share your thoughts, knowledge in the comments below. That would be very kind of You and valuable for all of us. Thanks for reading through.
