Quick overview of SOLID principles
- [Instructor] The SOLID principles originated with Robert C. Martin, also known as Uncle Bob. Although he defined these principles in the early 2000s, they remain relevant for C++ development today. These principles were developed to help us create better, more understandable, flexible, and maintainable software designs. SOLID is an acronym where each letter represents a fundamental principle of good object-oriented design. Let's start with the Single Responsibility Principle. You've already seen this in action in our previous video about modularization. This principle states that a class should have only one reason to change. Think about our initial data handler class. It had multiple responsibilities, file operations, data processing, database interactions, and logging.
