Clean Architecture is a software design paradigm that can help you create maintainable, testable, and scalable applications. With the ever-growing complexity of software projects, adhering architecture is more important than ever.

In this article, we will explore the concept of Clean Architecture in the context of C# .NET and provide a practical approach to implementing it in your projects. So, let’s dive in!

What is Clean Architecture?

Clean Architecture is a software design approach that emphasizes the separation of concerns and the use of abstractions to create a flexible, modular, and maintainable system. It was introduced by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) as a set of principles and guidelines for building software systems that are easy to understand, change, and extend.

I know this might feel overwhelming, but don’t worry! We’ll break it down step by step, so you can have fun while learning.

Principles of Clean Architecture

The core principles of Clean Architecture include:

  1. Dependency Rule: Dependencies should always flow inwards, from outer layers to inner layers.
  2. Stable Abstractions: Components in higher-level layers should depend…
