A brief overview of design principles
Design principles are high-level guidelines that offer valuable advice on design considerations. These principles can provide essential guidance to help you make better design decisions. Some general design principles are applicable not only to software design but also to other design disciplines.
Let’s review some general design principles before we explore the commonly used design principles (SOLID) in software development.
Exploring types of design principles
Design principles encompass a vast subject area. Thus, rather than delving into intricate details, I will provide insights from my experiences in implementing design principles during development, offering a concise overview of the principles discussed in this book. We will begin with high-level principles such as DRY, KISS, and YAGNI, and then progress to those more commonly used in software development. In the realm of object-oriented programming (OOP), the most widely...
