The author of this guide will introduce you to many architectural principles and patterns that will help make your code cleaner.Your code doesn't have to be an unwieldy, soul-crushing nightmare that revokes any joy of programming you once had.It happens so unexpectedly: your project started great at first with you developing at a rapid pace, but before you know it, you've come to a screeching halt.
