SOLID Principles

SOLID is an acronym for five object-oriented design principles that aim to make software more understandable, flexible, and maintainable. These principles were introduced by Robert C. Martin and provide guidelines for structuring code to reduce dependencies and improve modularity. They are widely used in software engineering to promote clean architecture and robust design.

Also known as: SOLID, SOLID Design Principles, SOLID OOP Principles, Robert C. Martin Principles, Clean Code Principles

Why learn SOLID Principles?

Developers should learn and apply SOLID principles when designing object-oriented systems to create scalable and maintainable code, especially in large or long-term projects. They are crucial for reducing technical debt, facilitating code reuse, and making systems easier to test and modify, such as in enterprise applications or frameworks like Spring or .NET.
