This is that last part of a five part series about SOLID class design principles by Robert C. Martin. The SOLID principles focus on achieving code that is maintainable, robust, and reusable. In this post, I will discuss the Interface Segregation Principle.
The Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): Clients should not be forced to depend upon interfaces that they do not use.
This is part four of a five part series about SOLID class design principles by Robert C. Martin. The SOLID principles focus on achieving code that is maintainable, robust, and reusable. In this post, I will discuss the Dependency Inversion Principle.
The Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): High level modules should not depend upon low level modules. Both should depend upon abstractions.
This is part three of a five part series about SOLID class design principles by Robert C. Martin. The SOLID principles focus on achieving code that is maintainable, robust, and reusable. In this post, I will discuss the Liskov Substitution Principle.
The Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP): functions that use pointers to base classes must be able to use objects of derived classes without knowing it.
This is part two of a five part series about SOLID class design principles by Robert C. Martin. The SOLID principles focus on achieving code that is maintainable, robust, and reusable. In this post, I will discuss the Open Closed Principle.
The Open Closed Principle (OCP): You should be able to extend a classes behavior, without modifying it.
This is part one of a five part series about SOLID class design principles by Robert C. Martin. The SOLID principles focus on achieving code that is maintainable, robust, and reusable. In this post, I will discuss the Single Responsibility Principle.
The Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): A class should have one, and only one, reason to change.
The previous article, Model View Controller Explained, explained what MVC is and why it’s such a good design pattern. The model view controller design pattern has a flow. Actions flow from the view to the model via certain pathways. Conversely, changes to the model flow through to the view. This article will dive into finer detail about these pathways, and discuss some of the specific mechanisms and design patterns used to implement the flows.

Model view controller (MVC) is a very useful and popular design pattern. If you’re writing software, you should know it. Unfortunately it’s also one of the hardest to truly understand. In this article I will provide what I think is the simplest explanation of MVC, and why you should use it.
