Objects are the central concept of languages like Java, Python, C#. Applying best practices for object design means that your code will be easy to read, write, and maintain. Object Design Style Guide captures dozens of techniques for creating pro-quality OO code that can stand the test of time. Examples are in an instantly familiar pseudocode, teaching techniques you can apply to any OO language, from C++ to PHP.Offers both guidelines and guidance on how to achieve a clear, consistent tone across a larger team.

Summary
Answers to the exercises
3 Creating other objects
3.1 Require the minimum amount of data needed to behave consistently
3.2 Require data that is meaningful
3.3 Don’t use custom exception classes for invalid argument exceptions
3.4 Test for specific invalid argument exceptions by analyzing the exception’s message
3.5 Extract new objects to prevent domain invariants from being verified in multiple places
3.6 Extract new objects to represent composite values
3.7 Use assertions to validate constructor arguments
3.8 Don’t inject dependencies; optionally pass them as method arguments
3.9 Use named constructors
3.9.1 Create from primitive-type values
3.9.2 Don’t immediately add toString(), toInt(), etc.
3.9.3 Introduce a domain-specific concept
3.9.4 Optionally use the private constructor to enforce constraints
3.10 Don’t use property fillers
3.11 Don’t put anything more into an object than it needs
3.12 Don’t test constructors
3.13 The exception to the rule: Data transfer objects
3.13.1 Use public properties
3.13.2 Don’t throw exceptions, collect validation errors
3.13.3 Use property fillers when needed
Summary
Answers to the exercises
4 Manipulating objects
4.1 Entities: Identifiable objects that track changes and record events
4.2 Value objects: Replaceable, anonymous, and immutable values
4.3 Data transfer objects: Simple objects with fewer design rules
4.4 Prefer immutable objects
4.4.1 Replace values instead of modifying them
4.5 A modifier on an immutable object should return a modified copy
4.6 On a mutable object, modifier methods should be command methods
4.7 On an immutable object, modifier methods should have declarative names
4.8 Compare whole objects
4.9 When comparing immutable objects, assert equality, not sameness
4.10 Calling a modifier method should always result in a valid object
4.11 A modifier method should verify that the requested state change is valid
4.12 Use internally recorded events to verify changes on mutable objects
4.13 Don’t implement fluent interfaces on mutable objects

Summary
Answers to the exercises
6 Retrieving information
6.1 Use query methods for information retrieval

6.7 Query methods should use other query methods, not command methods
Summary
Answers to the exercises
7 Performing tasks
7.1 Use command methods with a name in the imperative form

About the Technology
Well-written OO code is a pleasure to read, modify, and debug. Elevate your coding style by mastering the universal best practices for object design presented in this book. These clearly presented rules, which apply to any OO language, maximize the clarity and durability of your codebase and increase productivity for you and your team.About the book
Object Design Style Guide presents dozens of professional techniques for writing OO code. In it, veteran developer Matthias Noback lays out design rules for constructing objects, defining methods, changing and exposing state, and much more. All examples use instantly familiar pseudocode, so you can follow along in the language you prefer. You’ll go case by case as you explore important scenarios and challenges for object design and then walk through a simple web application that demonstrates how different types of objects can work together effectively.What's inside
