In-depth architecture analyses, low-level design patterns, and the engineering trade-offs behind production systems.

Build complex Java objects step by step while keeping constructors readable.

Create families of related Java objects without coupling callers to concrete classes.

Move object creation decisions behind a Java factory method.

Understand when a single Java instance is useful and when it becomes hidden global state.

Depend on stable abstractions instead of hard-coding low-level details.

Keep Java interfaces narrow so clients depend only on methods they actually use.

Make subtypes safely replace their parent type without surprising callers.

Add new behavior through extension points instead of editing stable code.

Design Java classes that change for one business reason at a time.

Choose Java interfaces or abstract classes based on contract, state, and evolution needs.

Separate what an object does from how it protects and stores its data.

Use inheritance carefully and rely on polymorphism for replaceable behavior.
