Discusses the conceptual problem of inheritance in object-oriented programming for statistical methods, using R's lm and glm classes as examples.
Explores the Liskov Substitution Principle using the classic 'Is a square a rectangle?' example in object-oriented programming.
A detailed guide to SOLID principles in C#, explaining each principle with code examples to improve code readability, maintainability, and flexibility.
A defense of the SOLID principles in modern software development, arguing they remain essential for writing simple, maintainable code.
An explanation of GRASP (General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns), a set of object-oriented design principles for assigning responsibilities in software.
Analyzes the Builder pattern in Java, discussing its benefits, potential overuse, and alternatives for simplifying class design.
A collection of practical programming wisdom covering code design, testing, dependencies, and development processes for better software engineering.
