Design principles 1 are guidelines that help developers create better, maintainable, and scalable software. These principles promote writing code that is easy to understand, extend, and maintain. Think of them as a best-practice handbook for software development.
Examples
Below is an example of the principles used during development:
- SOLID Principle (Single Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion)
- DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)
- KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)
