Design Patterns – Using the Composite Pattern in C#(dotnetcube.com)

submitted by dncdude(1350) 2 years, 9 months ago

Composite Pattern enables a client to treat a single entity and a collection of entities in the same way. Frequently, developers create systems in which a component may be an object or a collection of objects. For example, an application that gathers metrics on the size of the files/folders in a file system would like to treat the folder and the file in the same way. A folder is either empty or composed of one or more files. The size of a folder is the size of the individual files that make the folder and the size of the file is the size of that individual file itself. The Composite Pattern is designed to accommodate such a requirement. read more...

Asp.Net vs php : Speed Comparison(naspinski.net)

submitted by naspinski(610) 2 years, 11 months ago

Why is the myth that php is faster than Asp.Net so prevalent? Asp.Net is faster than php, here are the facts. So many times I have heard php pushers claim that php is so much faster than Asp.Net and that Asp.Net is clunky and slow. The most annoying part is that everything I have read (that is not factless opinion), and I mean everything, says that this is wrong; but for some reason, this myth is widely accepted. It has become a religious argument that ignores the facts... read more...
