This course will teach you all about creating a web application in the Hexagonal Architecture style. Hexagonal Architecture promotes the separation of concerns by encapsulating logic in different layers of the application. This enables a higher level of isolation, testability, and control over your business specific code. 

You will learn how to design software modules and complete applications in a clean and maintainable manner, while also learning how to advocate for a certain technique given your application and constraints.

By the end of this course, you will have a greater understanding of how to implement software architecture, a key skill for any senior developer.

Hexagonal Software Architecture for Web Applications

If we have an `Account` domain entity and an incoming port `SendMoneyUseCase`, we might be tempted to use the entity as the input and/or output model of the incoming port, as the figure below shows:
