Software engineering employs design patterns, which are widely applicable solutions to recurring software design problems. Design patterns do not constitute final designs that can be readily translated into code. Rather, they offer a blueprint or model for addressing a problem that can be adapted to diverse scenarios. Introduction Software design patterns are an essential aspect of software development that helps developers and engineers create reusable and scalable code. These patterns provide solutions to commonly occurring problems in software design, enabling developers to solve these pro ..read more

Git hooks are like handy helpers that let you run scripts (things like spell checks, linters, or automated tests) before or after important moments in your Git tasks, like when you're committing, merging, or pushing your code. Git hooks often run simple tasks. This can be anything from ensuring that every developer follows the same naming rules for commits or branches. The awesome thing about Git hooks is that you can fine-tune everything in the scripts, resulting in a better experience for the developers. Have you ever dreamed about consistency in your development team? Without sacrificing t ..read more

In the world of C# programming, inheritance is a fundamental idea that enables programmers to build on existing classes to create hierarchies of classes that promote code reuse and organization. However, as the project develops, this power has the potential to bring about unintended complications and problems. The "Sealed" keyword can help in this situation. Introduction to inheritance and its role in C# programming A crucial concept in object-oriented programming is inheritance, which allows a class (the derived class) to take on traits and behaviors from another class (the base class). This ..read more
