Explore how solid design principles promote maintainable, flexible, and scalable code by examining a multi-responsibility accounts class and its separation into distinct concerns.
Explore UML diagrams and class diagrams to visualize structure, relationships, and interactions, including inheritance, generalization, association, composition, dependency, and realization, with abstract classes and interfaces.
Apply the single responsibility principle to design focused classes, separating database, verification, and notification logic into distinct components to improve maintainability, readability, and testability.
Apply the open-closed principle by keeping software entities open for extension but closed for modification, using interfaces to add payment methods like UPI and Apple Wallet without changing existing code.
Explains the Liskov substitution principle, showing that a superclass object should be replaceable by a subclass without breaking correctness, illustrated with vehicle, bird, and flightless vs flight birds.
Explore the interface segregation principle by splitting fat interfaces into smaller, role-specific ones so classes implement only relevant methods, as with I worker, I eatable, I sleepable, and I chargeable.
Explore how the dependency inversion principle decouples high-level modules from low-level details by relying on abstractions. See how a notification interface allows adding new notifications without changing code, boosting flexibility.
This comprehensive course is designed to equip you with the essential skills of software design using UML diagrams and SOLID principles, foundational to building scalable, maintainable, and high-quality software systems. You will master how to create and interpret various UML diagrams such as class diagrams, use case diagrams, sequence diagrams, and activity diagrams, enabling you to visualize and communicate system architecture clearly and effectively.
The course delves deep into the SOLID principles—Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion—which are crucial for writing clean, extensible, and efficient object-oriented code. You will learn practical ways to apply these principles using real-world examples and best practices that improve system robustness and adaptability.
Ideal for both beginners and experienced developers, this course blends theory with hands-on exercises, preparing you to solve common design problems and “code smells” faced in software development projects. By the end of this course, you will have the confidence and ability to design flexible software architectures, reduce technical debt, and contribute effectively to any development team or project.
Whether you are preparing for technical interviews, aiming to enhance your coding skills, or looking to transition into software design roles, this course provides a solid foundation that will empower your growth and success in the software engineering field. No prior UML or SOLID knowledge is required—just a passion for learning and programming basics.
