Getting Started: Clean Architecture in .NET

Start your .NET Clean Architecture journey

About This Course

Clean Architecture is one of the most popular software architecture and solution organization approaches out there, and that's for a good reason. It provides a clear path to a robust solution structure with clear guidelines and rules that help you fall into the pit of success immediately. It can, however, be confusing and complicated at first, especially if you don't have an experienced developer explaining the concept and principles to you. That's where Dometrain comes in. In this course, Amichai Mantinband, a Software Engineer at Microsoft, will help you start with Clean Architecture and teach you all the principles and rules in easy-to-digest clips and understandable examples. Start your Clean Architecture journey today on Dometrain!
