  • Always Valid

    Jeff Palermo recently wrote up a blog post about “The fallacy of the always valid entity” . This post is a more thought out commentary to the ideas therein and could be better suited with a name of “The fallacy of the fallacy of the always valid entity”. Jeff appears to be arguing with something that...

  • Java vs .NET Developers

    Davy Brion has an interesting post discussing his recent interviews with .NET and Java developers . I have to say that I agree with some of his assessments. Much of what we discuss in .NET is far more common in Java as Java has a far healthier community than Microsoft. You will find terrible developers...

  • More on Repository

    Oren has since responded so let me in turn respond. Its something that we will never agree upon because we have been in such different contexts. He starts by saying First, careful re-reading of the actual post doesn’t show me where I said that the repository pattern is dead. What I said was that the...

  • Tricky Question

      Someone gave me a tricky little question the other day that they had supposedly received in an interview at google and were stumped by. Its not really that tough but …   You have a circular queue of ordered items, come up with an algorithm for finding whether or not an item with the value...

  • Repository is Dead: Long Live Repository

    The title sums up the argument in Oren’s recent post about repositories . Although we have had some discussions on twitter about that post I wanted to offer people a bit more of an analysis of what he has said and the pros/cons of such a strategy. His post was originally intended to be an “alternative...

  • My Horrible Lie

    I have to admit that when I first started writing about DDDD I felt the need to separate its concepts from DDD. The reason for this is that the concepts being discussed were not in the mainstream of DDD. It needed to be segregated so that people could differentiate between the ideas.... Now to let everyone...

  • Cost?

    In response to someone’s comment of: “writing all of these message objects takes a lot of time” We have come to a very very very important question. What is the cost of Command Query Separation and Messaging in general in comparison to say a more traditional architecture? I would like to look at this...

  • Big Ball of Entropy?

    Just a quick thought, the comments should be interesting on this one. What is the relationship between the Big Ball of Mud and Entropy ? Are all systems of a reasonable level of complexity destined to become Big Balls of Mud ? Do the economics of our industry drive things towards a Big Balls of Mud ...

  • Welcome to the Anemic Age

    Just a quick run by posting. It seems that all the cool kids are now building apps using anemic domain models The recent document Two tier application scenario (REST) from MS P&P is a good example.

  • DDD: Specification or Query Object

    One of the nice benefits of a Specification is that one could write some code like the following: IEnumerable<Customer> customers = CustomerRepository.AllMatching(CustomerSpecifications.IsGoldCustomer); Writing code like this has allowed the developer to reuse a specification from the domain within...
