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.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
