Looking over some developer blogs of Pluralsight authors I was seeing their course titles and I realised something:
When a course has “advanced” in the title does that usually mean the subject matter is more complicated than it should be?
For example, “Advanced Dependency Injection”. Surely Dependency Injection is something we want to keep simple (though to be fair I argue everything should be kept as simple as possible)?
Can’t we just wire it up then get on with the real job at hand? What make’s it so complex there must be an “advanced” component?
It leads me to wonder why we even need a sliding scale of “easy” to “advanced” topics in software development?
What causes such complexity in a subject?
Is the topic truly large and complex?
Or are we, the developers, so lazy in our approach to implementation – or teaching – that we over complicate it (almost certainly unintentionally)?
