Simple explanation of the Repository pattern(leoncullens.nl)

submitted by Avalaxy(214) 4 months, 17 days ago

One of my favorite design patterns is the 'repository pattern'. That's why I decided to dedicate a complete blog post to it. Using the repository pattern in your application can yield a lot of benefits, such as improved testability, easier ways to implement caching and transactions, avoidance of code duplication and it allows you to replace the data source easier (although that probably won't happen too often). read more...

submitted by pwhe23(972) 4 months, 22 days ago

Why isn't there a modern technology available for using the same codebase to produce native apps on all of the currently popular platforms - I'm talking iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch), Android, Windows, Mac and Linux? That was my original question before I started looking, and since then I've discovered there actually are plenty of new options out there for cross platform development catering for all of the above platforms. read more...

Ayende on Infinite Scalability(ayende.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 4 months, 22 days ago

Ayende Rahien shares his thoughts on an excellent article by Udi Dahan on the myth of infinite scalability (http://www.udidahan.com/2011/12/29/the-myth-of-infinite-scalability/). He adds his own 2 cents by setting a goal for scalability when designing a system. By setting a goal that is an order of magnitude above your projected requirements, you can be sure to design a system that can scale comfortably without overengineering a solution that doesn't meet your users requirements (or fails to launch). read more...

Multiparadigmatic .NET(msdn.microsoft.com)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 5 months, 6 days ago

Over the years, many of us in the .NET community have heard of Microsoft's "personas" for the Visual Studio environment: Einstein (the genius), Elvis (the rock star), and Mort (the "average" developer). As useful as these personas might be for Microsoft in trying to figure out precisely for whom they're building Visual Studio and the Microsoft .NET platform, I've found them to be less helpful. In fact, I've come to realize that for the vast majority of the .NET ecosystem, developers mostly fall into one of two basic (and highly stereotypical) camps read more...

My take on what CQRS is -- and what it isn't(dennistraub.wordpress.com)

submitted by Dennis_Traub(10) 7 months, 28 days ago

First and foremost: CQRS as an architectural pattern has nothing to do with event sourcing, eventual consistency, messaging, pub/sub, denormalized views and whatever other patterns are being confused with the term CQRS nowadays. CQRS is simply having two separate models for each reads and writes, that are being accessed via queries and commands respectively. [...] read more...
