Watch the full video: • Master the Design of Classes
Have you heard of stringification? It is the effect in design when everything becomes a string.
You can put anything into the string representing a title, a publisher, or an author's name.
But you lose so much. We lose the language of the title and the whole bunch of data associated with the publisher.
We lose the separation of first and last names in authors.
We lost operations. Whatever we must implement, we implement here because all the data types representing the state are stupid strings.
There is the long video on my channel where you can learn how to clean this stringified mess.
The short story is that you should pull out the classes.
Put authors into a class just for them.
Put related components into a class that manages them.
Reduce the use of strings to a manageable level.
Don't let the excessive use of strings destroy your design.

👨 About Me 👨
Hi, I’m Zoran, I have more than 20 years of experience as a software developer, architect, team lead, and more. I have been programming in C# since its inception in the early 2000s. Since 2017 I have started publishing professional video courses at Pluralsight and Udemy and by this point, there are over 100 hours of the highest-quality videos you can watch on those platforms. On my YouTube channel, you can find shorter video forms focused on clarifying practical issues in coding, design, and architecture of .NET applications.❤️
