Main Software Development Principles

In this chapter, we will explore the main software design principles that are used to create well-structured and maintainable code. One of the most important principles is SOLID, which stands for Single Responsibility Principle, Open-Closed Principle, Liskov Substitution Principle, Interface Segregation Principle, and Dependency Inversion Principle. These principles are designed to help developers create code that is easy to understand, test, and modify. We will also discuss the importance of levels of abstraction, which is the practice of breaking down complex systems into smaller, more manageable parts. Additionally, we will explore the concepts of side effects and mutability and how they can affect the overall quality of software. By understanding and applying these principles, developers can create software that is more robust, reliable, and scalable.
