The document outlines the SOLID software design principles: Single Responsibility Principle (SRP), Open/Closed Principle (OCP), Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP), Interface Segregation Principle (ISP), and Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP). These principles emphasize the importance of modularity, code extension, and minimizing dependencies while also advocating for simplicity and refraining from unnecessary implementation. Additional principles mentioned include DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), and YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It).
