Questioning Software Development Practices: November 2009
http://incredulous-developer.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Questioning Software Development Practices. An inquisition into normality and things taken for granted in the world of software development. Thursday, November 26, 2009. For many years I have been waiting for real web application software toolsets to arrive. Widespread abuse of HTML, CSS and scripting has created a slew of messy web applications written in technologies that were never designed to be used for such a purpose. They are well suited to web content, but not to building rich applications. Altho...

Questioning Software Development Practices. An inquisition into normality and things taken for granted in the world of software development. Sunday, March 13, 2011. Intense TDD Focus Not So Healthy? I believe in the value a TDD/BDD approach yields. However, I have seen great software produced with no unit tests at all and really poor code produced with lots of tests. Now I have finally figured out what it is that bugs me so much about the current trend of TDD/BDD hysteria. Which is more important? Intens...

Questioning Software Development Practices. An inquisition into normality and things taken for granted in the world of software development. Friday, September 4, 2009. 3 You can speak to a number objects in the same way, e.g. if you have a number of sprite objects that all require drawing, you don’t have to know which is which, you can just send them all the ‘Draw’ message and if they respond to the same protocol, they will do as asked. This is usually achieved by inheritanc...4 Objects should focus thei...

Questioning Software Development Practices: December 2009

Questioning Software Development Practices. An inquisition into normality and things taken for granted in the world of software development. Sunday, December 6, 2009. Wanted to post on this subject for some time. There is a general lack of awareness of this powerful concept which is one of most profound ideas the professional developer can embrace along with sound object oriented principles. Next time you see a really clean piece of code - look carefully and you will probably notice DbC in action. Code w...

Questioning Software Development Practices. An inquisition into normality and things taken for granted in the world of software development. Monday, December 29, 2008. The culture of success. It seems to be accepted as the norm these days that software development projects are a big gamble. You may succeed, but all the planets have to be in perfect alignment to achieve it - and what is meant by success is also open to interpretation. Friday, December 19, 2008. Last comment on the subject - maybe. Reading...

Questioning Software Development Practices. An inquisition into normality and things taken for granted in the world of software development. Saturday, July 26, 2008. Reading an article just now, something sparked off a thought process. I remember talking my manager years ago about things in general and he came out with something like 'object technology never lived up to its promise of reuse'. I have no doubt it can be made to work - but when I have seen this, there has always been a price to pay - code i...

Questioning Software Development Practices. An inquisition into normality and things taken for granted in the world of software development. Saturday, February 14, 2009. Simplicity in an ever more complex world. I have been doing some background thinking on this subject for some time now. Many projects I have worked on are set up the way of the specialist, yet something just doesn't ring true whenever I work on a project staffed this way. Esther Derby has this take. Friday, February 13, 2009. We have had...
