Torqd examines the tools and concepts that developers use on the job. We talk web frameworks, career choices, community events, industry news, and anything else that keeps the engine running.
We’re back with part two of our inaugural Torqd book club; discussing Robert “Uncle Bob” Martin’s “Clean Architecture” with Colin DeCarlo, Brad Brothers, and Lucas Gladding. This time, we’re starting from the beginning of the book, diving into the SOLID acronym, dissecting the principles behind it, and debating when and how to put new lessons from a book into daily practice.
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. You can listen to part one right here: https://goo.gl/CRjYbi
