Crash Course: The Solid Principles Of Software Engineering

Learn the 5 principles driving software engineering in the modern age

What you'll learn

Learn the definitions of the SOLID principles

Gain knowledge of real examples of the SOLID principles in practice

Understand why they are important

Understand the problems that are caused when SOLID principles aren't used

Requirements

You need to have a basic understanding of object oriented programming and inheritance

Description

So you want to be a competent software engineer? Then look no further. These 5 principles, introduced in 2000 by Robert C. Martin, have been at the bedrock of software since he released his book "Design Principles and Design Patterns". This crash course will take you through each principle, what it means, and how to use it. The videos will not only provide you valuable skills in building high quality, maintainable, and testable code, but they will also make you prepared for any interview questions that you might be asked about the SOLID principles (this is quite common!)For each principle listed below the course contains: a detailed explanation of the principle (using references to popular books written by industry experts), class diagrams to understand the principle from a high level, and a coding exercise to understand the principle from a foundational real world level.S - Single Responsibility PrincipleO - Open Closed PrincipleL - Liskov Substitution PrincipleI - Interface Segregation PrincipleD - Dependency Inversion PrincipleBy the end of the course and after watching each of these videos, you should have no problem explaining what the principle means, and converting non-SOLID code into SOLID code.Good luck, and happy coding!
