Since I´m mostly concerned with software architecture and my clients are asking again and again when I´m going to write a book about the topic, I finally decided to set out and compile the material to go into the book. And I decided to do it publicly...
Please find the sample code for my presentations at Software Architect 2008 on Aspect Oriented Programming with PostSharp and Software Transactional Memory with NSTM here for download: http://www.ralfw.de/download/Software_Architect_08_Samples.zip If...
You´re fluent in object oriented programming. But now and again you´re wondering what the fuzz about component orientation is? There is supposed to be more to it than just using 3rd party controls in your user interfaces. But, what and how? Component...
As explained in my previous postings , I implemented a local/embeddable version of the Amazon SimpleDB data model and API in C#. You can download the sources from my NSimpleDB Google Code Project and build the tuple space engine yourself, or you download...
In my previous postings about Amazon´s SimpleDB data model and API I explained, what Amazon´s online database service - or to be more precise: tuple space - has to offer in general. If this sounds interesting to you, then now welcome to the desktop. Because...
Amazon´s SimpleDB is an exciting new player in the database world. It´s free, it´s online, it´s not relational. SimpleDB is a dynamic database implementing a tuple space . Currently SimpleDB (as of Jan 08) is in beta - but not everyone can get his hands...
Have you heard about Amazon´s online "database service" SimpleDB ? They describe it like this: "Amazon SimpleDB is a web service for running queries on structured data in real time." So it´s not a RDBMS, because Amazon does not call the data "relational...
When writing more complex code you cannot really step through during debugging, it´s helpful to put stud it with statements tracing the execution flow. The .NET Framework provides for this purpose the System.Diagnostics namespace. But whenever I just...
My previous posting on Software Transactional Memory (STM) I concluded with the remark, NSTM was not finished. How true! Here is the next release of NSTM with a couple of improvements. You can download it from Google´s project hosting site . Here´s what...
The API for my .NET Software Transactional Memory (NSTM) I´ve described so far is straightforward, I´d say. It´s close to what you´re used to from transactional dabase access and it´s even integrated with System.Transactions : open a transaction, do some...
