About this listen

By applying universal rules of software architecture, you can dramatically improve developer productivity throughout the life of any software system. Now, building upon the success of his best-selling books Clean Code and The Clean Coder, legendary software craftsman Robert C. Martin (“Uncle Bob”) reveals those rules and helps you apply them.

Martin’s Clean Architecture doesn’t merely present options. Drawing on over a half-century of experience in software environments of every imaginable type, Martin tells you what choices to make and why they are critical to your success. As you’ve come to expect from Uncle Bob, this book is packed with direct, no-nonsense solutions for the real challenges you’ll face - the ones that will make or break your projects.

  • Learn what software architects need to achieve–and core disciplines and practices for achieving it
  • Master essential software design principles for addressing function, component separation, and data management
  • See how programming paradigms impose discipline by restricting what developers can do
  • Understand what’s critically important and what’s merely a “detail”
  • Implement optimal, high-level structures for web, database, thick-client, console, and embedded applications
  • Define appropriate boundaries and layers, and organize components and services
  • See why designs and architectures go wrong, and how to prevent (or fix) these failures

Clean Architecture is an essential book for every current or aspiring software architect, systems analyst, system designer, and software manager - and for every programmer who must execute someone else’s designs.

I like this book. Its one I'd listen to again, as it covers a lot. But I found it easy to listen to. And took away some good lessons from it. It also helped me answer a few questions I didn't know I had. And I enjoyed the anecdotes and history of the software principles as well. Its one that has opened a lot of avenues of interest that I will do further reading into.

Great book, with good quality reader performance

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Good balance between information on the subject and also I loved history stories about programming

Good information about the subject and as history

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Great no-nonsense extensive explanation of the good software design principles. A must read to those who are not in this profession exactly but are working closely with those who are. As a data product owner I listened it with a pencil and paper.

Great book. Probably will get a printed one.

Uncle Bob highlights an interesting perspective, showing how a software architect’s mindset differs from that of a software developer.

Software architecture is not coding.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Mostly obvious, well-known techniques, buried in a lot of nonsensical ranting about misconstrued fantasy-history anecdotes.

Poorly researched ranting nonsense
