Writing clean, maintainable code is a key goal in object-oriented programming (OOP). The SOLID principles are a set of guidelines designed to help developers achieve just that, making code easier to read, test, and extend over time. SOLID is an acronym for five essential principles that can guide us in building robust and flexible software. … Continue reading Mastering SOLID Principles for Cleaner, Maintainable OOP Code

Simulating Interfaces and Abstract Classes in JavaScript for Flexible, Polymorphic Code
In object-oriented programming (OOP), polymorphism is key to creating flexible, scalable code by allowing us to work with objects through a common interface. While JavaScript lacks native support for interfaces and abstract classes, we can simulate these structures with patterns that enforce flexibility and structure in our code. In this post, we’ll explore how to … Continue reading Simulating Interfaces and Abstract Classes in JavaScript for Flexible, Polymorphic Code
Is Solidity an Object-Oriented Programming Language?
Solidity is the leading smart contract programming language for developing decentralized applications (dApps) on Ethereum and other Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchains. Since many developers come from object-oriented programming (OOP) backgrounds (for example, JavaScript, C++, or Python), a common question arises: Is Solidity truly an OOP language? The answer isn't straightforward. While solidity incorporates … Continue reading Is Solidity an Object-Oriented Programming Language?
Programming Best Practices for Technical Writers – Polymorphism
Welcome to the fifth part of my series on essential programming best practices for technical writers. In the last post, I discussed the concept of reusability. On this post I’ll focus on the principle of polymorphism. Polymorphism allows objects from different classes to be treated as instances of a common superclass, enabling them to respond … Continue reading Programming Best Practices for Technical Writers – Polymorphism
Programming Best Practices for Technical Writers – Inheritance
This is the second post in a series dedicated to exploring the fundamentals of programming best practices for technical writers. The first post detailed encapsulation. This one delves deeper into inheritance. Simply put, inheritance enables a new class (subclass) to inherit the methods and properties of an existing class (superclass). This creates a hierarchical structure of … Continue reading Programming Best Practices for Technical Writers – Inheritance
