eBook Description:

Get Your Hands Dirty on Clean Architecture, 2nd Edition: Gain insight into how Hexagonal Architecture can help to increase maintainability

Building for maintainability is key to keep development costs low (and developers happy). The Get Your Hands Dirty on Clean Architecture, Second Edition is here to equip you with the essential skills and knowledge to build maintainable software.

Building upon the success of the first edition, this comprehensive guide explores the drawbacks of conventional layered architecture and highlights the advantages of domain-centric styles such as Robert C. Martin’s Clean Architecture and Alistair Cockburn’s Hexagonal Architecture. Then, the book dives into hands-on chapters that show you how to manifest a Hexagonal Architecture in actual code. You’ll learn in detail about different mapping strategies between the layers of a Hexagonal Architecture and see how to assemble the architecture elements into an application. The later chapters demonstrate how to enforce architecture boundaries, what shortcuts produce what types of technical debt, and how, sometimes, it is a good idea to willingly take on those debts.

• Identify potential shortcomings of using a layered architecture
• Apply varied methods to enforce architectural boundaries
• Discover how potential shortcuts can affect the software architecture
• Produce arguments for using different styles of architecture
• Structure your code according to the architecture
• Run various tests to check each element of the architecture

By the end of this second edition, you’ll be armed with a deep understanding of the Hexagonal Architecture style and be ready to create maintainable web applications that save money and time. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a newcomer to the field, Get Your Hands Dirty on Clean Architecture, 2nd Edition will empower you to take your software architecture skills to new heights and build applications that stand the test of time.
