ASP.NET 6 REST API Following CLEAN ARCHITECTURE & DDD Tutorial | Part 1 - Project Setup

[@robertmrobo8954]

I think I can be called "KZbin/Video tutorials veteran watcher" with more than a decade experience, and sir, allow me to tell you that you are right there at the summit amongst the best instructors I've ever met. Top-top-top class. I liked and subscribed within 15 minutes of watching this video.

I'm a professional full stack dev since more than 20 years, I'm already into what you are going to explain in these video series but I think it's always good to listen and see how other devs work out there because, as yourself said, we are always learning all the time! IMO a good developer never sticks to a DOGMA and never follows what other people consider a creed but instead challenge himself trying to sharpen his tools and shape his ideas, often even radically changing them, about how to architecture a system and experience on real projects gives lot of input about that. At some point any dev will realise there is no silver bullet and each problem has lot of way to accomplish its goals, it's a matter of trading between a lot of aspects like team skills, available time, habits, current company technology stack, experience, etc... But it's always GOLD to know as many strategical and tactical patterns out there so that one can make use of the "right" tool for the current job. I like your way to explain because as a veteran I don't like to watch videos that spend a lot of time about basic stuff, maybe your audience target will narrow a bit but personally I like it. I'll follow you along your path to see how you tackle most advanced and debated subjects (e.g. DDD serialization, repository pattern, CQRS, eventual event sourcing, docker & containerization, microservices and so on) Good luck, you'll need a lot of time to do what you are aiming for!

[@brunohenriquedossantos1518]

You're one of the fewer people in KZbin that can explains clear architecture so well, and better, with hands-on. For sure you deserve much more subscribers that you have! Great job, Amichai!

[@amantinband]

Thanks, Bruno!

[@pauloafpjunior]

Totally agree!!!

[@talkathiriify]

I also agree!

[@PaulSebastianM]

What I really liked about the video is the work methodology that's inspired: work in small increments and test that everything works before you begin adding too much code that when it doesn't run you can't be sure what exactly is wrong, is it your code or is it something else, or find out that you have to refactor a lot because you missed a step like setting up something in infrastructure. And I think the explanations are simple enough that all junior level programmers should be able to understand.

[@jasondads9509]

Not quite tdd, but guess that makes sense

[@riverobenjamin]

I totally agree, the methodology used to develop (and teach) in this video also allow learn the basics and then take the next step more confidently. I have seen others tutotorials about the same subject but in some points I get lost with the code and the concepts. Great Job Amichai!

[@drenigjini8440]

After almost 30 hours of searching a good instructor for clean arch. I found all in one, keep it up

[@ahmadaqrabawi7866]

One of the greatest videos I've watched. Clean, Direct to the point and not boring

[@WasifKizilbash]

The best, concise, to-the-point, relevant and CLEAR communication!! above all, I really like the way you kept on showing the Diagram and linked it with the Code, that is where we are! I've never seen any .NET video instructors making such a clear and crisp connection to the Infographic vs Code!! great stuff! will definitely cover your entire course!! This is coming from a full stack .NET developer who has been dirtying hands for the last 15 years!! bravo! more power to you mate! love from Australia!

[@timschmidt5469]

I love this so much! I started w episode 13, then immediately jumped back to the start of the series. I'm also a 25+ yr. dev and this is hands down one of the best presentations I've ever seen! Take my subscribe and likes!

[@hassaanqureshi6479]

There's precisely one channel for which I have the notifications on. And it's this one. Nowhere else have I found such an eloquent dive into DDD with CA.

[@CarlosHerasme]

I was researching a lot about DDD and Clean Architecture. I must say this is the best course I've ever watched. I'm eager to finish the whole course, I already watched a little bit of the further videos and I definitely loved what I saw. You rock!

[@waliullah7215]

Just to say brilliant is not enough. very high-level knowledge and resources you have shared in public. A person like me very much benefitted from your channel. Please keep sharing.

[@therayyanansari]

Right at the end of the video, when you said "this is my first video" that really blew my mind. This video is really polished and complete. Thank you bro. Subscribed as soon as I completed the video. Will be completing the whole series.

[@ycarobatalha4215]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm a junior developer and I'm using this video to study DDD in english. Sometimes, you speak fast but I can back the video and listen again. Success in your channel.

[@GameSpreePH]

At last! No nonesense presentation. This is the best😉

[@yannistocreau3598]

Software architect here, I really like your way to present things. It's clear, concise, and SHORT. You really don't beat around the bush and go straight to the point. So take my like sir !

[@bmassioui]

Thank you for the simplicity and the way how to turn theoretical articles and courses into reel artifact

[@OzTheWizardOfPorn]

Dude, I love this. It's perfect for someone like me who doesn't get much out of general "how to code in C#" tutorials anymore but needs some guidance as to how to build actual applications. Thank you so much.

[@carsugarmodels]

Awesome start! Finally finished this first video hands-on. Starting with the next one! Keep doing this same fantastic quality videos! Thanks.

[@NaveenKumar-hd7mp]

Loved your way of explanation from scratch....

[@faris.abuali]

Great explanation! Much enlightening & informative! Thanks so much Amichai

[@georgesaeid7231]

I don't believe that was your first KZbin video. That means you were born as a youtuber 😄 Thank you for the great content.

[@coinboybit7281]

Every is just right, not to lengthy, not too short explanation. Great job! Looking forward to more videos

[@wolfgangdiemer2511]

Seeing the master mind of "throw, error-or,..." at work, great. Thank you, for your amazing stuff.

As I just started exploring .net 6, it's a brilliant stuff and very helpful for me. thanks a lot and keep making more videos on further insights on this topic..

[@abodesegunezekiel6145]

This is the best video I have seen about Clean Architecture. the diagram are very helpful. and to say that this is your first video on youtube? wow

First ever KZbin? Man, you nailed it. Very well explained and relevant content. 👌

[@pejman2114]

one of the best courses i've seen on youtube

[@DmitriMogilevski]

Great tutorial! Thank you and I subscribed and very much look forward to more tutorials on your channel. 2 quick suggestions to make you tutorials even more awesome. 1. Add links to software and Nuget packages you use in the tutorial 2. Create chapters for distinct segments, e.g. Adding a Controller, wiring up DI etc.

[@amantinband]

That's great feedback. Thanks, Dmitri!

[@microtech2448]

[@j.erlandsson]

Really good job explaining this from a code perspective. I'm not a C# dev but I understood literally everything you did. Kudos

[@amantinband]

Really great to hear, thanks!

[@ryanheitmann7591]

Great first vid! Really enjoy seeing the recommended extensions, use of the command line, and I know we didn't cover it in this vid, but you mentioned storing environmental variables - that's the 'small things' that I like to learn along the way. Much appreciated!

[@chidieberelevi3344]

This is really great. Clean architecture well explained. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Weldone

[@PaulSebastianM]

9:38 In Clean Architecture the Presentation Layer's dependency on the Infrastructure Layer is a runtime dependency, not a direct reference between the projects. In this case CA would use the Dependency Inversion Principle to invert the dependency between the two layers by making them both depend on an abstraction (an interface). This abstraction is defined in the Application (or Core Domain) layer. So instead of Presentation Layer => Infrastructure Layer, you do Presentation Layer => Abstraction

[@amantinband]

Right, there are multiple tricks we can do to avoid the project dependency as I did here. We'll cover at least two approaches in a future video. Thanks for adding this!

[@shreyshah4256]

could you please explain what is runtime dependency, please ?

[@PaulSebastianM]

@@shreyshah4256 because you want to be able to decouple infrastructure from app core such that you only focus on business in the app core and not on how things are stored, retrieved and sent out on a network or whatever. So infra is a runtime dependency that gets injected based on an interface, an abstraction. When you decide you want to store your models in SQL, you inject the infra that implements that internally but exposes the same interface as for example another infra that stores data in flat files but also exports the same interface.

[@shreyshah4256]

Gotcha, thanks for detailed explanation

[@angusmccloud1265]

Thanks for the clarification. I was questioning this as well since the Presentation layer should not have a reference to the Infrastructure.

[@franciscogilt]

For the first video this is already awesome. Keep doing that!

Very useful information provided, I have implemented in same manner and I enjoyed the same. Actually, I am creating microservice for my project and trying to implement a service using clean architecture. thank you once again for providing this.

[@dllamaree]

Thank you so much❤ loved the video! I struggle with understanding the architecture. I’ve seen the diagrams before but it never really clicks. Seeing you reference the diagrams while you code, and seeing how you document with the md for is super helpful. Thank you for a great video. I subscribed

Very Clean presentation of Clean architecture. Awesome.Keep going.

[@huyanhnguyeninh787]

What a clean, fully and helpful video. I love this. Keep Going!

[@andersjuul8310]

Nice presentation. I already used clean architecture on several projects, but of course there’s a lot to pick up. Liked the use of CLI, which I haven’t been using much. Keep coding!

Thanks for showing this great trick: dotnet sld add (ls -r **\*.csproj) And also thanks for the series. Looking forward to it.

[@andrewseaton5727]

Very concise and thoughtfully laid out. I am a relative beginner and I was still able to follow - I would pause the video if I hit something I didn't understand, do a bit of research, and them come back. I feel like there was a bit of challenge that forced me to learn. I can tell that you spent a lot of time on this - you definitely have teaching talent! Thank you.

[@seldomseen_78]

[@oncalldev]

This was your first KZbin video??? Very well done. Very well presented. When I watch videos related to coding topics I really look at a couple of things. One is the topic that is being explained and secondly the development approach, which includes the tools being used. My preference for .NET projects is Visual Studio. I tend to use Visual Code for smaller HTML/CSS related projects where I'm just experimenting with a UI. I might slightly disagree with you use of VS Code in this kind of project but I can certainly learn a lot from seeing someone else use it, along with the various VS Code extensions that are brought into play. Looking forward to the follow-up videos.

[@amantinband]

Haha yeah it was. I'm still having a hard time believing how fast the channel is growing. One of the reasons I chose vscode & the .NET CLI for this series is demonstrating what a modern, cross platform developing experience can look like and how far .NET has come in the past few years

Wow dude, this is an awesome video, one of the best I have seen, thanks so much for sharing and putting yourself out there, I think lots of people will appreciate this and I will share with others who are interested too. I’ve been working on a large rest api and my tech stack is very almost identical, loving Mapster, I was using auto mapper before and got fed up with the boiler plate config which I didn’t need, I also use the code gen for my contracts (50+ entities and crud for internal app so works for me). I use exactly the same project structure which is interesting, i do Api.Contracts just to tied it to the api. Really like the developer workflow, docs, rest endpoint testing too, Using Mediatr too. Really looking forward to the rest of the series (no pun intended!). Good luck with everything.
