Become a SOLID Developer

SOLID is an acronym for a set of programming principles espoused by Robert Martin, aka "Uncle Bob".
It stands for: Single Responsibility Principle: A class should have only one reason to change. Open-Closed Principle: Modules should be open to extension but closed for modification Liskov Substition Principle: Derived classes must be usable through the base class without users/clients needing to know the difference.
Interface Segregation Principle: Separate interfaces so that callers only depend on what they actually use.
Dependency Inversion Principle: Depend on abstractions.


Tom is a very good friend of the Inland Empire .NET User's Group, a Microsoft MVP, an exceptional developer with a wide range of experience in all types of technologies and frameworks – including Mono, well versed and practiced in Test Driven Development, and just an overall great guy. The IEDOTNETUG first met him when he contacted the group inquiring about presenting. He was going to be on vacation in Palm Springs, but not on the usual week the meetings were held. But having heard of his reputation through blogs and such, the user group knew it would be a great opportunity to learn from him, and made special arrangements to change the date of the March meeting. Since then Tom has presented again, and makes himself available via email, chat and twitter to the user group members for advice and brainstorming.
