There is a fantastic talk by Kevlin Henney where he deconstructs the SOLID principles as each being either misunderstood when they were written - or frequently misunderstood after. It was done here:

I won't spoil it by writing all the points here - just some pearls.

* The Open/Closed principle is redundant because it is already covered by the Liskov substitution principle.

* Bob Martin's view of the Dependency Inversion principle is in fact the Single Responsibility principle.

He suggests 5 more principles - but I won't spoil it by listing them here. Go see it!

Since there seams to be no online video (yet), could you please list the principles added?

Also, not everybody has the possibility to visit a conference in Australia.

A bit meager, but it could be FLUID: http://www.slideshare.net/anoras/ndc-2011-the-fluid-principl... (same author)

Yes, it was. I felt the critique of SOLID was much more interesting than FLUID though (which was a bit tongue in cheek).

Is there a video of the talk? I can't find it.

No, I don't really understand the parent link as you can't get a transcript or video. I was at the talk in Scotland though, and it was very good.

I recently asked Kevlin if a version would be made available - this was his reply:

"Not yet. I'm doing a version of it at @yow_oz next month. I think they'll be recording it — last year's talks went up quickly." https://twitter.com/KevlinHenney/status/402743019956604928

The conference has just finished, and the website where the talks will go up seems to be here: http://yowconference.com.au/
