SOLID Principles

SOLID Principles

To identify when and where to apply the SOLID principles, it's important to understand the core principles and their purposes. Here are some guidelines to help you identify their application:

  1. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP):

    • Identify distinct responsibilities or reasons for change within your system.
    • If a class or module has multiple responsibilities, consider separating them into separate classes or modules.
    • Look for classes or modules that have more than one reason to change and consider refactoring them.

  2. Open-Closed Principle (OCP):

    • Identify components or modules that should be open for extension but closed for modification.
    • Consider using abstraction, interfaces, or inheritance to allow for extension without modifying existing code.
    • Look for areas where you anticipate future changes or variations and design them to be easily extended without modifying existing code.

  3. Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP):

    • Assess whether derived classes can be used interchangeably with their base classes.
    • Ensure that derived classes adhere to the same contract and behavior as their base classes.
    • Avoid introducing unexpected behaviors or violating preconditions and postconditions when substituting derived classes.

  4. Interface Segregation Principle (ISP):

    • Identify clients that depend on interfaces with more functionality than they need.
    • Split large interfaces into smaller and more focused interfaces.
    • Design interfaces that are specific to the needs of the clients that use them, reducing unnecessary dependencies.

  5. Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP):

    • Identify areas where high-level modules depend on low-level modules, and consider inverting the dependency.
    • Use abstractions, interfaces, or dependency injection to decouple high-level modules from low-level implementation details.
    • Strive for loose coupling between modules, allowing for flexibility, testability, and easier maintenance.

When applying the SOLID principles, consider the specific requirements and context of your project. It's not always necessary or practical to apply all principles strictly in every scenario.

Aim for a balance that improves the maintainability, flexibility, and testability of your codebase while considering the trade-offs and specific needs of your project.

Atom - Jupyter / Hydrogen

Image
I will show you how to use the Atom editor with Jupyter Notebook to debug Python/Django views using Hydrogen plugin. On the Internet you can find some examples using this setup to debug Python but I found nothing related to Django, so I decided to publish this notes. This is not a high performance setup, because it involves many technologies at several layers. This is more a proof of concept of nowadays technologies which are available to the programmer's toolbox. This notes has been written during the development and improvement of the automated tests of the Virtual Library of FAPESP ( http://www.bv.fapesp.br ). The environment The diagram below shows an actual infrastructure to use this setup in a development environment. Technologies It is not expected that you know all of the technologies in detail, but there are some trick points. This paper is oriented for Python programmer who already use Atom and Jupyter and enjoy explore the edges of these tools.

Design Patterns

Design Patterns Creational Patterns These patterns focus on object creation mechanisms, providing flexibility and decoupling the client code from the specific classes instantiated. Some examples of creational patterns are: Singleton: Ensures that only one instance of a class exists throughout the program. Factory: Provides an interface for creating objects, but allows subclasses to decide which class to instantiate. Builder: Separates the construction of complex objects from their representation, allowing the same construction process to create different representations. Abstract Factory: Provides an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes. Prototype: Creates new objects by cloning existing ones and modifying them as needed. Structural Patterns These patterns deal with the composition of classes and objects, focusing on how they can be organized to form larger structures while keeping them flexible and ef

Robson Koji Moriya disambiguation name

Robson Koji Moriya This page is dedicated to my name and other similar names found on the Internet. The purpose of this page is to assist search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and others in understanding that I am a distinct individual and that there are other people with similar names. I will also share some interesting facts with you. Search Engines It is interesting to note that Bing does a much better job than Google when it comes to indexing my name. When I search for "Robson Koji Moriya" on both search engines, Google displays a lot of other individuals with the names "Robson Koji" and "Moriya," but it doesn't show most of my own online publications. Even this blog, which has my complete name in its domain, is hidden by Google. On the other hand, Bing correctly displays most of my information. Yahoo search engine is powered by Bing through a partnership. Google and Ask.com produce very similar results, and unfortunately, they are mostly incorr
