Learn how to build maintainable and secure applications

In this book you will learn how to…

• write clean and maintainable object-oriented code
• start a new project from scratch
• implement a layered architecture
• protect your application from XSS, CSRF and other attacks

The book is structured as a tutorial and will guide you through the steps of building a modern web application from scratch.

It will provide you with solid software development knowledge that you can then use as a foundation to learn more advanced approaches like domain-driven design.

It's a 212-page book and consists of a theory and a tutorial part. Everything in the book is framework-agnostic and you can apply what you learn to your favorite framework.

You will learn how to write clean code that stands the test of time. At the end of the book, you will know how to implement a layered architecture from scratch and how you can protect your application from the most common attack vectors.

This is the book that I wanted to read when I first learned about clean code.
