What’s the Single Responsibility Principle?

Get a brief introduction to the single responsibility principle.

Let’s start with the first SOLID principle—the single responsibility principle. We’ll explain its importance and provide some examples of its usage in C# code. Incidentally, as well as being the first principle in the abbreviation, it’s also the one that’s the easiest to grasp, implement, and explain. Arguably, it’s also the most important principle on the list. So, let’s find out what it is and why we, as developers, absolutely need to know it.
