You’ll often get to hear from good programmers about having “loosely coupled” classes. What do they mean by saying that? Let’s understand this first before jumping onto the Law of Demeter. Loosely Coupled In object-oriented design, the amount of coupling refers to how much the design of one class depends on the design of another class. In other words, how often do changes in class

Writing good code in accordance with all the best practices is often overrated. But is it really? Writing good and clean code is just like good habits which will come with time and practice.

“Good software system begins with clean code” and by “clean code”, I mean it is code that is easy to understand and easy to change. This is the point where there is a need to know about SOLID Principles which helps us in writing the clean code as the code is like humour. “When you have to explain it, it’s bad.” The SOLID PRINCIPLES tell Continue Reading

Playing-Microservices This blog describes a basic Microservice architecture design using Play 2.4.X and Scala. The big idea behind microservices is to architect large, complex and long-lived applications as a set of cohesive services that evolve over time. The term microservices strongly suggests that the services should be small. In short, the microservice architectural style is an approach to developing a single application as a suite Continue Reading
