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.
