The document discusses the SOLID principles of object-oriented design:
- The Single Responsibility Principle states that a class should have one, and only one, reason to change. An example class that violates this principle is refactored to separate concerns into distinct classes.
- The Open/Closed Principle states that a class should be open for extension but closed for modification. An encoder class is refactored to use polymorphism and dependency injection to follow this principle.
- The Liskov Substitution Principle states that subclasses must be substitutable for their base classes. Examples of violations include subclasses not implementing base class methods or having incompatible method signatures.
