SOLID Principles
In the world of software engineering, principles and best practices are the backbone of a robust, maintainable, and efficient code base. In the previous chapter, we introduced the foundational principles every developer needs to follow.
In this chapter, we continue exploring design principles, focusing on SOLID, an acronym coined by Robert C. Martin, representing a set of five design principles he proposed, aimed at making software more understandable, flexible, and maintainable.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Single responsibility principle (SRP)
- Open-closed principle (OCP)
- Liskov substitution principle (LSP)
- Interface segregation principle (ISP)
- Dependency inversion principle (DIP)
By the end of this chapter, you’ll have an understanding of these five additional design principles and how to apply them in Python.
