14-June

Is your code S.O.L.I.D ?

Nathan Gloyn

Everybody keeps on about SOLID principles but what are they? and why should you care?
This session is an introduction to SOLID and I'll aim to walk through each principle telling you about that principle and then show how a code base can be refactored using the principles to make your life easier,
Come the end of the session you should have a basic understanding of the principle, why to use it and how using it can improve your code.
