  • PEIWEN JIN
    This course provides a clear and practical introduction to C4 models and how to apply them as code. The instructor explains the concepts in a structured way with real examples, making it easy to understand even for beginners. I especially liked the part about integrating C4 modeling into software documentation workflows. Highly recommended for developers and architects who want to communicate system design effectively.
