In this episode – Donn and Kaushik dive into a topic that is very near and dear their hearts – application architecture. They talk about how Martin Fowler has inspired a lot of their architectural decisions and how they’re moving towards defining what a clean architecture means to them and other developers. They talk about Model View Presenter, Model View Controller and many other topics that surround these two common patterns. Take a listen and go for the ride on architecture train … all aboard!
