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

submitted by ranw(263) 3 months, 27 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...

Simple explanation of the Repository pattern(leoncullens.nl)

submitted by Avalaxy(214) 4 months, 18 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...

Dodgy Coder: Modern Cross Platform Development(www.dodgycoder.net)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 4 months, 23 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?

Ayende on Infinite Scalability(ayende.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 4 months, 23 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, 7 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...

Misconceptions About Software Architecture(www.javagyan.com)

submitted by mopen(3596) 5 months, 26 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...
