Before reading, note that this article is written to understand the clean architecture pattern conceptually and in the next part there is a sample code implementation. This means that to learn it, you need to practice the pattern by writing code.

Clean architecture is a practical software architecture solution from the Legendary Robert C. Martin (a.k.a. “Uncle Bob”). By applying universal rules of software architecture, you can dramatically improve developer productivity throughout the life of any software system.

Here is the link to Part-2 which presents an implementation.
