According to OpenAPI 3.0 it isn’t possible. But what if you really want it to be? Do you have to just settle and allow your Swagger documentation to be wrong? I’m here to show you how to make optional route parameters with Swagger and ASP.NET Core.
Dependency Inversion Principle – Getting Solid with SOLID – Part 5
Software development has been around for a while. As technology advances so does the need to establish patterns and principles for healthy application development. We know one of those patterns as SOLID. The “D” represents Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) which is our topic for today.
Interface Segregation Principle – Getting Solid with SOLID – Part 4
Software engineering, like other trades, is something that can be done in many ways. Throughout the years people have established patterns and practices to help craft good software. One set of design principles we’ve been discussing is SOLID. Robert C. Martin coded the Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) which “I” represents.
How to Code Review Effectively
Modern software development is complex. New technologies emerge at a breakneck pace. Best practices, patterns, recommendations, and samples are a dime a dozen. Any team larger than one is faced with how to address differences in style, knowledge, and discipline. Perhaps one of the most important tools in your arsenal here is an an effective code review. Let’s look today at some ideas on how to code review effectively.
Liskov Substitution Principle – Getting Solid with SOLID – Part 3
Software engineering principles and patterns help us craft good clean software. One such pattern is an acronym we know as SOLID. “L” represents the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) which was coined by Barbara Liskov in 1987. Today I focus on Liskov Substitution Principle and how we apply it in modern application development.
Open/Closed Principle – Getting Solid with SOLID – Part 2
Software engineering principles and patterns help us craft good clean software. One such pattern is an acronym we know as SOLID. “O” represents the open/closed principle simply defined: “open for extension, closed for modification”. Today I’m focusing on open/closed principle and how it pertains to modern application development.
How unit testing made me a better developer
Developing yourself as a software engineer is important for progression. One tool you should incorporate in your arsenal is unit testing. What are unit tests? Why should I write them? What part do they play in my success or that of my software? Today I’m going to talk about how practicing this principle made me a better developer.
Application logs are your friend (and how to read them)
Your software application will crash. Even the most principled software following the best practices will inevitably have a bad day. Figuring out why it crashed and how to prevent it is a skill in and of itself. Fortunately there are steps you can take to help you when this time comes. Application logs are your friend and it is necessary to learn how to read them.
Single Responsibility Principle – Getting Solid with SOLID – Part 1
Software engineering is full of patterns and principles to help you get the job done. Sometimes those patterns and principles are defined very abstract and difficult to understand. Let’s talk about SOLID design principles in a 5 part series. Today we’re discussing the Single Responsibility Principle.
