The Complete Roadmap to
Mastering SOLID Principles in C#
SOLID is a set of five design principles that help in writing scalable,
maintainable, and flexible C# applications. If you want to become a pro-level C#
developer, mastering SOLID principles is essential. Here’s a structured roadmap
to help you go from beginner to expert in SOLID with C#.
2. Open/Closed Principle (OCP) – Open for Extension, Closed for Modification
Part 1: Understanding the Basics of SOLID Concept: Your code should be extensible without modifying existing logic.
Common Mistake: Modifying existing code instead of extending it.
Before diving deep, you should have a solid foundation in: How to Fix It: Use Interfaces, Abstract Classes, and Strategy Pattern.
C# Example (Bad Code - Violates OCP):
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in C#
- Encapsulation, Inheritance, Abstraction, and Polymorphism public class Invoice
- Interfaces & Abstract Classes {
public double CalculateDiscount(string customerType)
- Dependency Injection & Design Patterns {
if (customerType == "Regular") return 5;
Part 2: Deep Dive into SOLID Principles if (customerType == "VIP") return 10; // � Adding new types modifies this class
return 0;
1. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) – One Job, One Class }
Concept: A class should have only one reason to change. }
Common Mistake: A class handling both data storage & UI logic.
How to Fix It: Separate concerns into different classes.
C# Example (Bad Code): C# Example (Good Code - Following OCP using Polymorphism):

public class Report


{
public interface IDiscount { double Calculate(); }
public void GenerateReport() { /* Report Logic */ }
public class RegularDiscount : IDiscount { public double Calculate() => 5; }
public void PrintReport() { /* Print Logic */ } // � Breaks SRP
public class VIPDiscount : IDiscount { public double Calculate() => 10; }
}
public class Invoice { public double GetDiscount(IDiscount discount) => discount.Calculate(); }
C# Example (Good Code - Following SRP):

public class ReportGenerator { public void Generate() { /* Logic */ } }


public class ReportPrinter { public void Print() { /* Logic */ } }
3. Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) – Subclasses Should Behave Like Parent Classes 4. Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) – Keep Interfaces Small & Specific
Concept: A derived class should extend behavior, not break it. Concept: A class should not be forced to implement methods it doesn’t need.
Common Mistake: A subclass overrides behavior in an unexpected way. Common Mistake: Creating large interfaces with unnecessary methods.
How to Fix It: Ensure subclasses honor the expected behavior of their parent class. How to Fix It: Split large interfaces into smaller, more focused ones.
C# Example (Bad Code - Violates LSP): C# Example (Bad Code - Violates ISP):

public class Rectangle public interface IWorker


{ {
public virtual void SetWidth(int width) { /* Logic */ } void Work();
public virtual void SetHeight(int height) { /* Logic */ } void Eat(); // � Not all workers eat (e.g., robots)
} }

public class Square : Rectangle // � Violates LSP


C# Example (Good Code - Following ISP using Multiple Interfaces):
{
public override void SetWidth(int width) { /* Unexpected Change */ }
public override void SetHeight(int height) { /* Unexpected Change */ } public interface IWorkable { void Work(); }
public interface IEatable { void Eat(); }
}
public class HumanWorker : IWorkable, IEatable { public void Work() { } public void Eat() { } }
public class RobotWorker : IWorkable { public void Work() { } } // � Robot does not need Eat()
C# Example (Good Code - Following LSP using Interfaces):

public interface IShape { int GetArea(); }


public class Rectangle : IShape { public int Width, Height; public int GetArea() => Width * Height; }
public class Square : IShape { public int Side; public int GetArea() => Side * Side; }
5. Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) – Depend on Abstractions, Not Implementations
Concept: High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Part 3: Applying SOLID in Real-World Projects
Common Mistake: Hardcoding dependencies inside classes.
How to Fix It: Use Dependency Injection (DI) & Interfaces.
C# Example (Bad Code - Violates DIP):
Now that you understand SOLID principles, apply them in
real-world projects:
public class EmailService { public void SendEmail() { } } - Refactor an existing C# project using SOLID
public class Notification { private EmailService _emailService = new EmailService(); } // � Tight coupling
- Implement SOLID in an ASP.NET Core Web API
C# Example (Good Code - Following DIP using Dependency Injection): - Use Dependency Injection (DI) with SOLID in .NET
- Follow SOLID when designing Microservices
public interface IMessageService { void Send(); }
public class EmailService : IMessageService { public void Send() { } }
public class Notification { private IMessageService _service; public Notification(IMessageService service) { _service = service; } }

The Complete Roadmap
to Mastering AJAX & JSON
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and JSON
(JavaScript Object Notation) are essential technologies
for building dynamic, fast, and interactive web applications.
Whether you are working with APIs, real-time data updates, or
front-end frameworks, mastering AJAX & JSON will make you a highly
efficient developer.
Step 3: Introduction to AJAX
Step-by-Step Roadmap to Mastering AJAX & JSON - What is AJAX?
* Stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML
Step 1: Prerequisites * Allows web pages to update without refreshing
- Before diving into AJAX & JSON, ensure you have a solid understanding of: * Used to send & receive data from a server dynamically
* HTML & CSS (Basic structure & styling of web pages)
- How AJAX Works:
* JavaScript Fundamentals (Variables, Functions, Events, Promises)
* User interacts with the webpage
* DOM Manipulation (querySelector, innerHTML, addEventListener)
* Basic HTTP Concepts (GET, POST, Status Codes)
* JavaScript sends an HTTP request to the server
- Learning Resources: * Server processes the request and returns JSON data
* Mozilla’s JavaScript & AJAX documentation * JavaScript updates the webpage without a full reload
* Hands-on tutorials for JavaScript Basics - Hands-on Exercise:
Step 2: Understanding JSON * Make an AJAX request to fetch random user data
- What is JSON?
Step 4: Making AJAX Requests using XMLHttpRequest
* Lightweight data format for exchanging information
* Used for APIs, configuration files, and data storage - Basic AJAX Request with JavaScript
- JSON Syntax & Structure
{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 30, let xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
"skills": ["JavaScript", "AJAX", "JSON"]
}
xhr.open("GET", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", true);

- Parsing JSON in JavaScript


xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) {
let jsonData = '{"name": "John Doe", "age": 30}';
let obj = JSON.parse(jsonData); // Convert JSON to Object
let data = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
console.log(obj.name); // Output: John Doe console.log(data);
}
- Converting Objects to JSON
};
let user = { name: "John", age: 30 }; xhr.send();
let jsonString = JSON.stringify(user); // Convert Object to JSON
console.log(jsonString);

- Hands-on Exercise:
* Convert an array of users into JSON format - Hands-on Exercise:
* Parse a JSON response from a mock API * Create a weather app using AJAX & JSON
Step 5: Fetch API – The Modern Alternative to AJAX Step 6: Using jQuery AJAX for Simplicity
- Using Fetch API for AJAX Requests - Making AJAX Requests with jQuery

fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts") $.ajax({
.then(response => response.json()) url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts",
.then(data => console.log(data)) type: "GET",
.catch(error => console.error("Error:", error)); success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
- Sending Data to Server using POST Request }
});

fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", {
- Using $.get() and $.post() Methods
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
$.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", function(data) {
body: JSON.stringify({ title: "New Post", body: "Hello World!" })
console.log(data);
}) });
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data)); $.post("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", { title: "New Post" }, function(response) {
console.log(response);
});
