Design Pattern Principles

Design principles form the foundations that design patterns are built upon. They are more fundamental than design patterns. When you follow proven design principles, your code base becomes infinitely more flexible and adaptable to change, as well as more maintainable. I will briefly introduce you to some of the more widely known design principles and a series of principles known as the S.O.L.I.D. principles.

Design Patterns Explained

Design patterns are high-level abstract solution templates. Think of them as blueprints for solutions rather than the solutions themselves. You won’t find a framework that you can simply apply to your application; instead, you will typically arrive at design patterns through refactoring your code and generalizing your problem.
