Programmer’s Backdoor Trap - Ran Wahle's blog(blogs.microsoft.co.il)

submitted by ranw(263) 3 months, 22 days ago

Today I’ve encountered something that made a programmer happy but made me sad. He had to pull data out of Data Warehouse and use it for his system. Later, he was informed that DWH personnel made his life easy: They’ve decided to write the data into his own database so he wouldn’t have to work so hard. Unfortunately this news made him happy, and therefore he went on with it, which made me even sadder. read more...

Misconceptions About Software Architecture(www.javagyan.com)

submitted by mopen(3596) 5 months, 22 days ago

References to architecture are everywhere: in every article, in every ad. And we take this word for granted. We all seem to understand what it means. But there isn't any wellaccepted definition of software architecture. Are we all understanding the same thing? We gladly accept that software architecture is the design, the structure, or the infrastructure. Many ideas are floating around concerning why and how you design or acquire an architecture and who does it. Here are some of the most common misconceptions about Software Architecture. read more...

Architectural and Design Challenges with SOA(www.dotnetblocks.com)

submitted by DotNetBlocks(393) 7 months ago

With all of the hype about service oriented architecture (SOA) primarily through the use of web services, not much has been said about potential issues of using SOA in the design of an application. I am personally a fan of SOA, but it is not the solution for every application. Proper evaluation should be done on all requirements and use cases prior to deciding to go down the SOA road. It is important to consider how your application/service will handle the following perils as it executes. read more...

Due to the nature of things we build in our day to day job, writing software can wear out even the most fit of us. Most software jobs make you constantly deal with complexity. The amount of things which can lead to a complex software project are immense. A poor first design, and failure to redesign. External dependencies.. read more...

Responsive Web Design - Stop and Think(www.codersbarn.com)

submitted by Bognit(2125) 8 months, 25 days ago

This article by Ethan Marcotte on Responsive Web Design has been widely touted as the designer's panacea for all things mobile. Other leading designers such as Jeffrey Zeldman and Andy Clarke have all jumped on the band wagon. Considering the amount of influence these guys have on young designers, it saddens me that leading designers, of all people, would sacrifice their art on the altar of a quick fix. read more...

Customize ReportViewerWebPart in C# and render in SharePoint Pages(praveenbattula.blogspot.com)

Pirates, Treasure Chests and Architectural Mapping(www.dotnetblocks.com)

submitted by DotNetBlocks(393) 9 months, 9 days ago

Pirates are known for drawing treasure maps to their most prized possession. These documents detail the decisions pirates made in order to hide and find their chests of gold. The map allows them to trace the steps they took originally to hide their treasure so that they may return. As software engineers, programmers, and architects we need to treat software implementations much like our treasure chest. Pirates are notorious for documenting where they hide their treasure. Shouldn’t we as creators of software do the same? By documenting our design decisions and rationale behind them will help others be able to understand and maintain implemented systems. read more...

When to use Aspect Oriented Architecture (AOA/AOD)(www.dotnetblocks.com)

submitted by DotNetBlocks(393) 9 months, 16 days ago

When is it appropriate to use aspect oriented architecture? I think the only honest answer to this question is that it depends on the context for which the question is being asked. There really are no hard and fast rules regarding the selection of an architectural model(s) for a project because each model provides good and bad benefits. Every system is built with a unique requirements and constraints. This context will dictate when to use one type of architecture over another or in conjunction with others. read more...

This how-to entry will detail the steps for getting Topshelf installed, running, and a schedule integrated and timed appropriately using Quartz. Once that is complete I’ll go over how to get custom schedules added to the service.Topshelf To get Topshelf up and running open up Visual Studio, start a Windows Console Project, and then use Nuget (if you don’t have Nuget installed, I suggest doing that ASAP, you’ll need it to follow along with any reference additions).
