Exploring Beyond SOLID: A Dive into Essential Software Design Principles 🚀💻
3 min readDec 18, 2023
💡 Did you know that when it comes to Design Principles, it’s not just about SOLID? Recently I came across so many more and decided to share them with everyone to enhance our Software Engineering skills! 🚀💻
1. SOLID Principles Revisited:
- S — Single Responsibility Principle: A class should have only one responsibility to improve refactoring and code clarity.
- O — Open-Closed Principle: Design software entities to be open for extension but closed for modification, allowing for flexibility without breaking existing code.
- L — Liskov Substitution Principle: Subtypes should be substitutable for their base types, ensuring consistency and compatibility.
- I —I nterface Segregation Principle: Clients should not be forced to depend on interfaces they don’t use to promote modularity and reduce coupling.
- D — Dependency Inversion Principle: Depend on abstractions, not concrete implementations, to achieve loose coupling and flexibility.
2. Beyond SOLID: More Design Principles to Embrace 🌟
- KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid): Embrace simplicity in system design to keep code clean and easy to understand.
