Introduction to SOLID Design Principles

Introduction

When creating software, we can follow good practices to avoid issues to make our code easier to understand, robust, and maintainable. Few of these practices are often termed as principles, e.g., the SOLID principles refer to the best practices to be followed in OOD.

SOLID is an acronym for the first five object-oriented design (OOD) principles by Robert C. Martin, also known as Uncle Bob, the author of Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship.
