A great place to learn about SOLID

OK so I’ve had some awesome questions from Software Engineers about the importance of SOLID principles and the one that is most common is how can I find out about and learn SOLID principles? There’s a lot of great articles and really good videos on the subject but I still think the single best starting point is a most awesome podcast from Scott Hanselman where he interviews SOLIDs author Bob Martin. It’s a great detailed explanation of how SOLID works and I think you’ll find that the practical aspects are really useful in trying to implement SOLID on a day to day basis.

What C# can do for you?

I often spend a lot of time talking to new software development graduates at Xero about the benefits of the mighty language C# and despite my absolute enthusiasm and excitement for this brilliant language which has delivered us such treasures such as LINQ, I often find the standard response “But Dominic we use Java at Uni and it’s really cool”.  While this is not a great response, I have to accept that most Universities (In Australia) teach mostly either Java or Python.

So I was really lucky to come across this little gem of an article on C-sharpcorner that not just talks about the benefits of C# but also has a little history lesson on C#:
