Understand what to do at any point in developing a clean .NET architecture Master advanced .NET techniques with a focus on actual value delivered by working within a modular, clean architecture. Microsoft Data Platform MVP Dino Esposito explains key clean architecture concepts with a mix of pragmatism and design discipline and helps you solidify your knowledge through a real-world project. Starting with an explanation of the quest for modular software architecture continuing through the methodology of domain-driven design (DDD), Esposito emphasizes the role that modularization plays in managing complexity in software development. Breaking down the layers of an architecture that is modular and maintainable, he presents a sample project that is not simply another to-do list, but an actual tool for the reader. Ultimately, an exploration of common dilemmas for both developers and operations brings together historical developments with real solutions for today.
