Gather ‘round for the inaugural Torqd book club. For our first entry, we’re looking at “Clean Architecture” by Robert “Uncle Bob” Martin. With guests Colin DeCarlo, Brad Brothers, and Lucas Gladding, we’ll explore some of the larger concepts covered in the book (dependency inversion, plugin architecture, design patterns, tech debt) and hit on a few of our guests’ favourite parts.

If you haven’t read the book, it might be a good idea to give it at least a skim before listening to this episode. Heck, we’d argue that it’s worth reading for your career alone, whether or not you listen to Torqd! We got so much from it that we broke our discussion into a two-parter.
