Explore empathetic code by contrasting a csv manager example with non-empathetic methods, clarifying save and read behaviors, return values, and how the event informs csv data processing under solid principles.
Learn about the SOLID principles—SRP, OCP, LSP, ISP, and DP—and how applying them together improves code reuse, robustness, and testability through practical examples.
Explains the single responsibility principle by contrasting coupling and cohesion, showing how modules should change for a single reason and isolating roles in a reporting example.
Apply the SRP principle by introducing a dedicated logger and an info reader to separate logging and file reading from the report engine.
Apply the interface segregation principle by splitting a fat media file interface into focused interfaces like opener and image, ensuring each class implements only relevant methods and improves cohesion.
Apply the dependency inversion principle by extracting interfaces, centralizing instance creation with a factory, and using constructor injection to decouple concerns, improving testability and flexibility.
Explore the factory method pattern, defining an interface for object creation while letting subclasses decide what to instantiate. See how it defers instantiation to subclasses to solve the design problem.
Learn how the factory method design pattern creates concrete cryptocurrency processors like Ethereum and Bitcoin via an abstract processor factory and overridden create processor methods, enabling customization.
Explore the builder design pattern and learn how it separates construction of a complex object from its representation, enabling the same process to produce different representations.
Explore the builder pattern structure and series of product representations. Define an abstraction with build steps, concrete builders for text file and audio file, and a director to orchestrate creation.
Welcome to "Mastering SOLID Principles and Classic Design Patterns," a comprehensive course meticulously curated for C# developers. Guided by Microsoft MVP and veteran software developer Hector Perez, this course aims to instill the foundational understanding of SOLID principles and classic design patterns, thereby elevating your coding skills to new heights.
SOLID Principles and Classic Design Patterns are key to producing clean, modular, and maintainable code, forming the bedrock of best software development practices. You'll gain a firm understanding of the five SOLID principles — Single Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion. We'll walk you through their applications, elucidating how to leverage these principles to foster code cleanliness and maintainability.
This course also provides an in-depth exploration of the 23 classic design patterns propounded by the Gang of Four, segmented into Creational, Structural, and Behavioral patterns. Each pattern is a solution to a unique design issue, enhancing code reusability and fostering software that is comprehensible, scalable, and maintainable.
Complementing theoretical learning, this course features extensive coding demonstrations to help cement your understanding of SOLID principles and design patterns. These demos are readily available for download, facilitating hands-on learning at your preferred pace.
By the conclusion of this course, you will have mastered the SOLID principles and the Gang of Four's design patterns, empowering you to produce efficient, maintainable, and scalable code. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including introductions to SOLID principles and Gang of Four design patterns, and deep dives into Creational, Structural, and Behavioral patterns.
To ensure an optimal learning experience, a rudimentary knowledge of software development and object-oriented programming is recommended. Embark on this journey to become a proficient C# developer, adept at modern software development with SOLID principles and Gang of Four design patterns. We're eager to see you in the course!
