A primer on common design principles

All the software written in the world solves one real-world problem or another and enables us to achieve new heights. As time changes, scenarios and the expectations of specific software change. To manage that change and deal with various aspects of software, engineers developed and evolved multiple programming paradigms, frameworks, tools, techniques, processes, and principles. A common set of principles and patterns being practiced, that were proven useful over time, becomes the guiding star for engineers to collaborate and build quality software. In this section, we will discuss some of the common design principles.

Design principles are a set of high-level abstract guidelines to be followed while designing applications for any programming language. They do not provide implementation guidelines.

Design principles

Techniques become principles if they are widely accepted, practiced, and proven useful in any industry. Those principles...
