Clean Architecture Project Setup From Scratch With .NET 7

Clean Architecture is a popular approach to organizing your .NET applications. I will show you how to set up the Clean Architecture completely from scratch. We'll start from a blank solution, and work our way up through the Clean Architecture layers.

Hi Milan, thanks for this insight into the basic project setup which has been born out of experience. Just embarking on a new project and I am adopting DDD, CQRS and MediatR as having worked on a legacy project for the past 10 years I can see the benefits of this approach and I look forward to future videos!

Hey Milan, Great video and congrats on the MVP, you have been smashing it and are awesome!

Great video, I am trying to convince work to convert one of our solutions to implement the CLEAN architecture and this video has helped me focus my thoughts.

Thanks for the video! It is important for beginners to know that once you get a hold of separating stuff you can adapt this structure to your case. Merge and rearrange. Even create your own modules and so. In my case I moved more towards a VSA and put controllers together with application code. As long as you clearly keep stuff logically separate it is OK.

Love video, and channel as well. Find it very useful and educative. Thanks a lot!

[jaymarkestrera]

I'm really glad I found this channel. I was struggling to find these kind of videos before especially about DDD.

[mohaarulez]

Love these kind of video's. Thank you for the effort!

Good explanation! Can't wait to see another architecture 😊

[cansozbir]

Oh man :) Yesterday I've created a CQRS + Clean architecture web API. I went back and forth on your videos to structure the project :) I wish I had waited one more day :)

[caseyspaulding]

Thanks. Best explanation I have found. Simple to the point

[prasadmadushan]

thank you explaining things with diagrams. very clean

[vitek]

This is great for someone who is just starting interested in clean architecture
👍

Thanks for sharing! Ace Milan Jovanović

This video is the best video when to talk in start configure you application with clean architecture.

[bismarckmartinez]

Nice video my dear Milan Jovanovic! ;D Congrats!

[mylesdavies]

Nice video, thanks. Still eagerly awaiting your video on setting up a modular monolith with module registration. Perhaps you could use this video as a starting point by showing how to register two CA projects?

[islamAhmed-ilpt]

great tutorials thanks a lot for your effort

Great one. Could you please extend this video and show us one step further such as how we can add a helloworld endpoint that will fetch data from db and return json response. Basically we wanted to learn where to plant view models, where to put services, where to put repository and make it workable.

Great Video simple and Clean :)
Good idea will be to record comparison of clean architecture approaches of ardalis vs jason taylor template.
One more idea maybe to record one without use of CQRS and MediatR in the Application layer.
keep up the good work
pozdrav iz Makedonije :)
