Publisher's Synopsis

Write object-oriented code that's manageable, maintainable, and future-proof.

Keeping your object-oriented designs simple demands a creative approach and that's exactly what you'll find in Simple Object-Oriented Design. This book is full of patterns and principles for reducing complexity, each one proven in author Mauricio Aniche's 20-year career in software development. You'll learn how to tackle code's natural growth in complexity, and adopt a "good enough" approach that means it's easy to refactor when requirements change.

You'll discover insightful principles for:

  • Making code readable and documented
  • Improving consistency and encapsulation
  • Managing dependencies
  • Designing abstractions
  • Handling infrastructure
  • Effective modularization


Learn what constitutes both good and bad object-oriented software design, discover how to make better trade-offs in design decisions, and when to embrace complexity over simpler data structures. With this book as your vital reference, you'll be ready to write code that will last the test of time, without slowing feature delivery to a crawl.
