Clean Architecture: A Craftsman’s Guide to Software Structure and Design: A Craftsman’s Guide to Software Structure and Design (Robert C. Martin Series)
£25.60£26.60 (-4%)
Building upon the success of best-sellers The Clean Coder and Clean Code, legendary software craftsman Robert C. “Uncle Bob” Martin shows how to bring greater professionalism and discipline to application architecture and design.
As with his other books, Martin’s Clean Architecture doesn’t merely present multiple choices and options, and say “use your best judgment”: it tells you what choices to make, and why those choices are critical to your success. Martin offers direct, no-nonsense answers to key architecture and design questions like:
- What are the best high level structures for different kinds of applications, including web, database, thick-client, console, and embedded apps?
- What are the core principles of software architecture?
- What is the role of the architect, and what is he/she really trying to achieve?
- What are the core principles of software design?
- How do designs and architectures go wrong, and what can you do about it?
- What are the disciplines and practices of professional architects and designers?
Clean Architecture is essential reading for every software architect, systems analyst, system designer, and software manager — and for any programmer who aspires to these roles or is impacted by their work.

Despite his reputation, this is the first book of Bob Martin’s that I have read. Looking back from the viewpoint of 2016, it gives an overview of all the trends and ideas in software development over the last few decades and suggests that good, clean architectural thinking overrides and can make use of all of them. Key takeaways for me where, an architecture of a system should resemble the system being built, know the boundaries in a system and when and how to enforce them, build with change in mind.

I learned a lot but it would be good to have more concrete examples of dependency inversion.

Clean Architecture is basically one idea repeated over and over for 30 chapters. The idea is that the business logic should be self-contained. It should not depend on the database or sockets or frameworks or GUI. It is a really, really good idea, and it is not easy to actually follow. However, the idea could have been explained in a lot less than 300 pages.
At the end there is a 50-pages appendix where Robert Martin describes many of the projects he worked on, from the early 1970s to the 1990s. Many of the problems from those projects are interesting case studies that you can learn from – I quite enjoyed reading those stories (somewhat to my own surprise).

I agree with other readers the book serves well. But there is a lot of extra pages that didnt need to be there. 1/3 of the book could have been easily removed. 2/3 however is very good, basic SOLID principles are mentioned.

Great item, bought as gift, he’ll love it, he collects Uncle Bob.

Illustrates points using everyday scenarios – and the white board presentation style makes it very accessible. One to re-read on a regular basis.

Good introduction to Software design and architecture, written in a clear and simple language. Some contents fall short as the author prefers to exorcise past experiences ghosts. It touches very important points and raises awareness on more advanced topics.
by Maya
This book introduces a set of important principles for building software right like SOLID.
I quite enjoyed reading it, which is rare with technical books.
I think it is very good for someone that has some idea of clean code, design patterns and software architecture principles already and wants to understand where these ideas come from and how they fit together.
