Silicon Valley stacks don't work in the Swartland. Here is how I designed a 'Zero-Rent' architecture using SQLite and Google Drive to build resilient, cloud-free software for a wheat farmer.
In the world of software development, precision and consistency are paramount. One area where this rings especially true is in handling date and time data. Ambiguity and misinterpretation can lead to software bugs, missed deadlines, and even financial losses. To mitigate these risks, software developers should embrace ISO 8601 as the standard for representing dates and times.
Testing is an essential part of Clean Architecture because it helps ensure that the application works as intended and that changes to the codebase do not break existing functionality.
In Clean Architecture, entities are domain objects that encapsulate business logic and represent the core concepts of the problem domain. Entities are not dependent on any specific implementation detail or framework and are typically defined as pure data structures. Entities are independent of the application's use cases and the infrastructure.
In Clean Architecture, a data source is a component that provides access to data from external systems such as databases, web services, or file systems. It is responsible for implementing the low-level details of data access, such as opening and closing database connections, executing queries, and handling data serialization and deserialization.
In Clean Architecture, a repository is an interface that defines a set of methods for accessing and managing data. The repository is responsible for abstracting the data layer from the rest of the application and providing a way to perform data operations without knowing how the data is stored or retrieved
In Clean Architecture, a use case is like a mini-program that describes a single task the system has to do. It has all the rules and logic needed to get the task done, and it also says what kind of things it needs to start and finish the task
As your application grows you are tempted to add methods linked to different responsibility to an existing interface. It is better to separate that new method out into its own interface.
Most of the time when building systems using OOP, we're looking to use composition over inheritance, however, when the need is there to use inheritance it's advisable that it's done using the LSP. The Goal of this principle is to prevent our old codebase from breaking due when doing inheritance.
The Open-Closed Principle (OCP) states that software entities (classes, modules, methods, etc.) should be open for extension, but closed for modification.
All programs are composed of functions and data structures and the SOLID principles introduced by Robert C. Martin, help us group our code into modules and advise how to interconnect them.The goal of the SOLID principles is to build software structures like Lego blocks that can be easy to change, understand and swap out.

There are key components to any application structure. Here we cover what these components are. The components allow us to organize our code. The application then becomes easy to maintain and flexible to change.
