SOLID Principles Prerequisite: This material assumes familiarity with Python object-oriented programming, including classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. The discussion builds directly on that foundation and extends it toward writing object-oriented code that remains maintainable as a system grows. Table of Contents Why SOLID Exists What SOLID Stands For Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) Open/Closed Principle (OCP) Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) How the Five Principles Reinforce Each Other Capstone Example: Applying All Five Together Common Pitfalls and Anti-Patterns When Not to Apply SOLID Summary and Key Takeaways Self-Assessment Questions Practice Exercises with Solutions 1. Why SOLID Exists A learner who has completed a course on object-oriented programming knows how to define classes, establish inheritance hierarchies, and use polymorphism. A natural question follows: if these tools are already available, why does a separate set of principles need to be learned before writing “good” object-oriented code? ...

Object-Oriented Programming in Python — A Deep Dive Who this is for: Anyone who knows basic Python (variables, functions, lists, dicts) and wants to truly understand OOP — not just the syntax, but why it exists, what problems it solves, and how to wield it well in real systems. Table of Contents The World Before OOP — Why Do We Even Need It? Classes and Objects — The Blueprint and the Building The self Parameter — Python’s Most Misunderstood Keyword Attributes — Instance vs Class Attributes Methods — Instance, Class, and Static The Four Pillars of OOP Encapsulation — The Art of Hiding Inheritance — Building on What Exists Polymorphism — Many Forms, One Interface Abstraction — Focusing on What Matters Dunder Methods — Making Your Objects Feel Native Properties — Controlled Attribute Access Multiple Inheritance and the MRO 13A. Mixins as a Pattern — Composable Capabilities Composition vs Inheritance Dataclasses — OOP with Less Boilerplate 15A. ABC vs Protocol — Two Ways to Define an Interface 15B. @classmethod as a Factory — Named Constructors Summary & Key Takeaways Practice Problems 1. The World Before OOP Before we learn what OOP is, let’s understand why humanity invented it. Imagine you’ve been hired to build software for a ride-hailing company (think Uber). You start writing code procedurally — just functions and dictionaries. ...

SOLID Principles: A Complete Deep Dive Prerequisite: Working familiarity with Python object-oriented programming, specifically classes, objects, inheritance, method overriding, polymorphism, and abstract base classes. If any of those terms are unfamiliar, study the OOP document first, because every argument in this document is expressed in that vocabulary. What this document delivers: A rigorous treatment of the five SOLID principles. For each principle you will find its formal statement, a precise interpretation of every term in that statement, the concrete engineering problem it solves, a worked example of the problem and its resolution, the alternative techniques available for the same goal, the costs of applying the principle, and the conditions under which it should not be applied. ...

SOLID Principles: Practice Workbook Prerequisite: 02_solid_principles.md. This workbook assumes the five principles have already been defined and demonstrated. It contains no new theory. Its purpose is to convert conceptual knowledge into diagnostic skill. Table of Contents How to Use This Workbook Vocabulary and the Diagnostic Method Section A: Recognition Drills Section B: Single Responsibility Principle Section C: Open/Closed Principle Section D: Liskov Substitution Principle Section E: Interface Segregation Principle Section F: Dependency Inversion Principle Section G: Combined Violations Section H: Capstone Refactor Self-Review Checklist Summary and Key Takeaways Appendix: Violation Signature Reference 1. How to Use This Workbook 1.1 What this document is for Knowing the definition of the Single Responsibility Principle and being able to detect a Single Responsibility violation in unfamiliar code are two different competencies. The first is declarative knowledge and can be acquired by reading. The second is a diagnostic skill and can only be acquired by repeated exposure to examples, followed by correction. ...
