Clean Architecture: Patterns, Practices, and Principles

Course Overview
Hi. I'm Matthew Renze with Pluralsight, and welcome to Clean Architecture: Patterns, Practices, and Principles. Clean architecture is a set of practices used to create modern software architecture that is simple, understandable, flexible, testable, and maintainable. In addition, clean architecture is a more modern replacement for the traditional three layered database-centric architecture that we've been using for decades. As an overview of this course, first you'll learn about clean architecture, what it is, and why it's important. Then, you'll learn about a series of modern architectural practices, like domain-centric architecture, application layers, command query responsibility separation, functional organization, and microservice architectures. Finally, you'll see how these architectural practices make your architecture more testable, more maintainable, and allows the architecture to evolve over time. By the end of this course you'll have the skills necessary to understand and implement these clean architecture practices on your own software projects. In addition, throughout this course we'll be walking through an open source application that implements all of these practices, so you can see how they're implemented first hand. As an introductory course, there are no prerequisites for this course. However, having basic experience with at least one C like programming language, and basic knowledge of software architecture will be beneficial, so please join us today at Pluralsight, and learn how to create highly effective and maintainable software with clean architecture.
