Aspect-Oriented Programming made easy with Event-Based Components
Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) can help to clearly separate concerns. But it´s kinda cumbersome to do without a tool. At least if you want to do it along the beaten path of object orientation. But things become much more easy, when you switch your thinking to a different paradigm at least during high level design. -
Event-Based Components – For Easier Software Design Say Goodbye to the Usual Object Orientation
Have come to feel very uneasy with the usual object orientation. It simply does not deliver on its promises. That´s of course not the fault of object oriented languages like C# or Java or C++. It´s the fault of those who use them in a way that leads their code straight into a brownfield. And it´s the fault of those who cannot provide easy enough guidance in using these languages.

Doing asynchronous distributed request/response service calls without WCF
In my previous blog post I hopefully was able to demonstrate how low the entry barrier is to asynchronous remote communication. It´s as easy as hosting a service like this

Easy remote communication without WCF
If you´ve read my previous posts about why I deem WCF more of a problem than a solution and how I think we should switch to asynchronous only communication in distributed application, you might be wondering, how this could be done in an easy way.

Becoming asynchronous – The first step towards distributed applications
In my previous blog post I argued WCF was not the most usable and most easy to learn way for communication in distributed applications. This is due to its focus on synchronous communication (even though you can do asynchronous communication as well).

WCF is not the solution but the problem
The title of this post has caught your attention? So let me explain what I mean by it: I think WCF is great. It´s the best communication framework Microsoft ever has come up with. WCF solves a lot of problems of its predecessors, it is tremendously extensible, and it supports the main communication paradigms (sync, async, P2P). WCF certainly is a solution of some kind.
