Temporal coupling and Immutability

This topic is partly covered in my Applying Functional Principles in C# Pluralsight course, Module 2. Here, I’d like to elaborate on how temporal coupling and immutability are related to each other. Temporal coupling Temporal coupling is coupling that occurs when there are two or more members of a class that need to be invoked in a particular order. A common example is the following: var calculator = new PriceCalculator(); calculator.

Cohesion and Coupling: the difference

This is another post on the most valuable principles in software development.

You might have heard of a guideline saying that we should aim to achieve low coupling and high cohesion when working on a code base. In this article, I’d like to discuss what this guideline actually means and take a look at some code samples illustrating it. I also want to draw a line between these two ideas and show the differences in them.
