Key benefits

  • Explore ways to make your software flexible, extensible, and adaptable
  • Learn new concepts that you can easily blend with your software development style
  • Develop the mindset for making conscious architectural decisions

Description

Building for maintainability is key to keeping development costs low and processes easy. The second edition of Get Your Hands Dirty on Clean Architecture is here to equip you with the essential skills and knowledge to build maintainable software. With this comprehensive guide, you’ll explore the drawbacks of conventional layered architecture and the advantages of domain-centric styles such as Robert C. Martin's Clean Architecture and Alistair Cockburn's Hexagonal Architecture. Then, you’ll dive into hands-on explanations on how to convert hexagonal architecture into actual code. You'll learn in detail about different mapping strategies between the layers of hexagonal architecture and discover how to assemble the architectural elements into an application. Additionally, you’ll understand how to enforce architecture boundaries, which shortcuts produce what types of technical debt, and how, sometimes, it is a good idea to willingly take on those debts. 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.

Who is this book for?

This book is for new as well as seasoned developers seeking to learn and deepen their understanding of hexagonal architecture. Some experience with web development is necessary. The code examples are in Java, but if you are proficient in reading object-oriented code, you’ll understand the examples seamlessly. Instances of detailed Java and framework explanations are fewer, but thorough.

What you will learn

  • 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

I bought this book as a successor of "Clean Architecture by Robert C Martin". Clean Architecture gave the abstract concept and this book gave me the implementation details. I would highly recommend this book.

I've been practicing Clean Architecture for many years in .NET/C# and Node.js/TypeScript. I can confirm that this book provides a complete view of all of the aspects of Clean Architecture and offers many considerations for approaching it in real projects. I also liked this book because the author explains everything eloquently and convincingly while not overselling anything.I highly recommend this book to anyone who'd like to learn about Clean Architecture or needs to hit the ground running and those who face practical challenges and need a lighthouse to keep them on the track to apply it in their work successfully.

The ideals of "clean architecture", hexagonal architecture, ports and adapters, etc, are great, but the 'devil's in the details,' as they say. You set off with noble goals but get lost in the weeds of limitation, fighting against frameworks and the language itself. Practical considerations keep the architecture from being as clean or as clearly represented in code as it could be.Tom's book helps fill the gap between the abstract, even ivory tower, architectural discussions, and those hairy details. I highly recommend it.One thing on my wish list: Since it's often inherent weaknesses in the language that prevent us from representing and enforcing the architecture as we'd like, it'd be great to see a treatment of other popular languages as well.Thanks!

I got this book this morning and finished in a day, because I had so much fun reading it.With about 130 pages it is not too long, but it is packed with great explainations and examples about how to achive a solid backend design.The code shown in the book is also available on GitHub, which is also nice.Strongly recommended!

Great book for anyone looking for practical advice about DDD and hexagonal/clean/onion architecture. If you are wondering how to translate all those abstract ideas into concrete code artifacts, this is the book to read.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
