Learning the Observer Pattern(dimecasts.net)

submitted by dwhittakerdwhittaker(13.1k) 3 years ago

Taking a look at how we can use the Observer Pattern in our application. The Observer pattern allows you to define a one-to-many relationship inside your application where the parent object (the one) has the ability to notify the child objects (the many) of any state change. You can utilize this pattern to make sure that a set of objects are keep in order when there behavior needs to change based on the state of your application. read more...

Code Generation Should be the Nuclear Option(codethinked.com)

submitted by justin_etheredgejustin_etheredge(8539) 3 years ago

So let me first just start off by saying: I do not like code generation. In certain cases I think it can help greatly, but many people are far too eager to jump to this solution. I don't think that there is anything particularly evil about the process of generating code, but I do feel like using code generation as a day to day tool is a very bad practice. Code generation should be the tool of last resort when there is no good way to cleanly implement a solution which doesn't require code to be spread out everywhere. read more...

Castle Windsor 2.0 RTM Released!(ayende.com)

submitted by LordLord(3737) 3 years ago

Some would say that it is about time, I would agree. Windsor might not be the OSS project in pre release state for the longest time (I think that the honor belong to Hurd), but it spent enough time at that state to at least deserve a honorary mention. f you will look, you won’t find Windsor 1.0, only release candidates for 1.0. As I believe I mentioned, Windsor has been production ready for a long time, and for the full release we decided to skip the 1.0 designator, which doesn’t really fit, and go directly to 2.0 read more...
