Document design principles | SOLID | YAGNI

[npathai]

Some of the design principles that I know of are:

• SOLID
• Tell Don't Ask
• YAGNI
• KISS
• DRY

These are the foundational principles which lead to design patterns. I think we should document them.

This could be its own section, like for example the "Idioms" is.

We should borrow some things from here http://webpro.github.io/programming-principles/

@iluwatar That's a great link. I will go through it. Yes it should be in a dedicated section something like "Design guidelines or principles".

I dare to say YAGNI about this very idea.

@iluwatar Awesome link. Why not just reference it in the suggested section? Also keep a fork of it so that if the original repository is removed we still have our copy.

@mafagafogigante I was kinda thinking in the same line. I will change the task to just add reference to the link @iluwatar provided. How does that sound?

[iluwatar]

@mafagafogigante @npathai This is a good idea. We also may have something to contribute to that repository.

Ok I will pick this up once I am done with #74 Turns out its difficult to work with NIO 😄

[bernardosulzbach]

Great. I think that helping that repository would be a great thing to do.
