A few years ago I have blogged about Singletonitis . Another place, different people, yet the same problem appears again – singletonitis. The issues I have outlined back then where 1. Testing 2. Difficulty to replace implementation 3. Requirement to track...
More than a year ago, I have posted a blog entry related to what I was trying to implement in one of the projects. Unfortunately, not my team could understand what I was trying to do, neither I was able to make myself clear. Either way, I ended up closing...
FluentNHibernate is an amazingly nice DSL to use for quick NHibernate mapping implementation. Today I had to refactor some of the code we did at work, in order to persist a state of an object. The original code was implemented using State pattern, which...
While reading Joshua Kerievsky book "Refactoring to Patterns" could not go silent about abuse of Singleton pattern he described. The question that was asked in the book "When is a Singleton unnecessary?" - "Most of the time"...

A few days ago read in Larman's book about Command-Query Separation Principle. Funny to mention that I heard about the concept many times ago, but this is the only source that stated it as a principle. And it makes total sense once you evaluate all the...
Strive for loosely coupled designs between objects that interact. By minimizing the knowledge one class has of another, you decrease dependency between those classes. Independent classes provide more flexibility in design. Does this mean your application...
Jeremy Miller (aka The Shade Tree Developer) has a very good article about OCP principle printed by MSDN magazine. This is a valuable article for any developer that strives to work according to law of "measure twice, cut once", and not just cook spaghetti...
In a multi layered application architecture, loosely coupled code is more than a important. It's the basic which can either help the entire project progress, or drive it down the slope to the end (in the bad meaning of the word). One of the basics to...
User Controls are handy when working in web forms, but what a mess they can generate. I was asked what to do when UCs are used and some dependencies need to be injected during the construction - but UCs are a bit tricky in regards to construction. So...
