Carlos Villela has just sent me a link to a post by Nick Drew where he uses colors to identify what I’ve called Domain Layers.
Well, one of my thought experiments runs like this: I’m going to give the code a colour. The colours I can choose from go like this:
* Yellow […]
It’s a very hot night here in Rio, the summer has just started, if not in calendar at least in the in our thermometers - I’m writing this from my veranda. I had a walk by the beach, went shopping, had a nice meal, watched three movies but couldn’t help thinking about Domains.
I felt the […]
Nice text by Justin James on the lack of real evolution that programming has made since decades ago.
He argued that the languages and platforms we use need to reveal their intents, I agree but thinks that he bases his text on a too low level Domain. For example, he makes a parallel between intentional code […]
Bill Six posted a nice article on how the EToys platform could be used to let the user write the Domain-Specific Language (the way TW’s guys described yesterday) easily and graphically, with real-time feedback.
DSL written by the user is an interesting and difficult topic, it is useful to be aware that letting the user write […]
Jay Fields and Zak Tamsen gave a very interesting interview at Ruby Conf now published at InfoQ. In the interview they talk about how ThoughtWorks used a Domain-Specific Language approach in a large project.They’ve implemented a Ruby-based Internal DSL so their user would write his own business rules. From the interview we can get some […]
I’m absolutely not a fan of Borland’s products. In Brazil we have a very large community of Delphi programmers and I’ve got a deep taste what is to live in a place where the software development cultural circles were created by that company.
Anyway, if you are giving a talk on Domain-Specific Languages please add it […]
Howard Dierking’s quote on the LOP session at Alt.Net:
On a positive note, though, I wasn’t alone in my thinking - and a side conversation on language oriented programming got started and actually continued after the meeting ended. Several issues were discussed, but a couple interesting ones that jumped out at me were the following.
Language […]
In the development of a web application I’ve used Fluent Interfaces to simplify concepts and to remove awkward and duplicated effort.
We use a very simple Java web framework and I found that about 30% of the code we’ve written in the web tier was about handling and verifying requests and its parameters. We had lots […]
