Course Overview

Clean architecture is a software design methodology that separates the processes of an application into discrete steps instead of presenting them as “spaghetti code.” With the versatility of Python, software engineers can build performant, modular applications quickly using the Flask framework. This course will help you build better applications using the principles of clean architecture. You’ll start with an introduction to data flow in clean systems and learn about the advantages of layered architectures...Show More
