A C# Set class based on enums - You don´t want to be without it when constructing a compiler ;-)
To refresh myself from obscure information models like Pile and restless thinking about software architecture I decided to pick up a new hobby: compiler construction ;-) Or rather I decided to apply my long time interest in this topic to a good cause: When I talked to Niklaus Wirth - the father of Pascal - in November at the iX conference he told me, he was about to release an updated version of his book "Compiler Construction" (read the complete book here: [PDF]) - which happens to be one of my all time favorite computer text books.

Software as a poly-hierarchical mesh
I fired a little too fast when I did my previous posting. Although I wouldn´t say what I wrote is wrong, I´d say it´s not in proper shape yet. There are quite some aspects (sic!) to take into account concerning software design and I´m not yet satisfied with what I have. Software Cells and Software Universe was a good starting point, they help a lot in practice - but still they are limiting and need to be refocused. So for the moment you should forget about the "Classifyiing bubbles" part of the previous posting, where I introduced very concrete levels of abstraction for software. They are not entirely wrong, but I´d like to present them differently in the future. However, I´m still content with the new emphasis I put on edges! They will become even more important today.
