In part 3 we took our first stab at bridging the data and object world by hand-writing our own data access layer and mapper. The approach turned out to be rather limited and required quite a bit of repetitive code (although it was useful in demonstrating the basics). Adding more object and more functionality...

It's common to hear developers promote layering as a means to provide extensibility. The most common example, and one I used in Part 2 when we looked at interfaces, is the ability to switch out your data access layer in order to connect to a different database. If your projects are anything like...

Intruduction Starting this kind of series by talking about domain driven design and object oriented programming is rather predictable. At first I thought I could avoid the topic for at least a couple posts, but that would do both you and me a great disservice. There are a limited number of practical...

Previously I discussed some issues with modopt . Well there are more. In total I have logged three issues (could be many more as nearly every language I have looked at has the same problems). I figured I would put up some links and describe each issue here. C# specification does not define modopt varying...
