Is there any way (apart form actual perfomance measurements which can be pretty hard to make them realistic) or rule of thumb when I should stop using the ThreadPool and use a dedicated Thread instead? I suppose for long running work it is better to use a dedicated Thread because it doesn't peramently steal one from the ThreadPool. For s...
What is main difference between domain and application services? (I'm using NHibernate) Which layer would be better for business logic? What's best practice? -S# Architecture uses application services as "coordination layer" but don't bother to explain why it's not domain service where should be business logic. ...
I will be more specific with a question if I need to be, or make this into a community wiki if you all think that's where it fits, but my question is: My dev team has recently started using Mercurial (moved from subversion) and we love it so far. I'm wondering if there is a 'best practices' resource out there about repository architect...

Why has SQL Server to duplicate a hundred of system views from model database into each user-defined database instead of keeping them centralised (for example, as it keeps server objects) and using them in specific context of specific database when asked/needed? Aren't they (for example, definitions/script of a system view) common b...
Hello, I am having little design problem: I have one factory which will create object of with one type or another type. But my client requirement is to give(feed) the data(via setter methods) from outside world to the concrete class of type-1 not for type-2.

Should we combine these apps into one larger one to simplify data integration or should we keep them separate and utilize some data exchange/caching mechanism? Longer version: We have a number of teams each working on a set of applicati...

I have the main domain for my marketing website, but I am trying to figure out how to manage the nitty-gritty domain management of the web app itself. Should I buy generic domains...
Hello, I'm trying to get to grips with the MVC structure and trying to decide where my files should go. I have a php script which reads an image from a non-web accessible location and outputs it. Does it belong in the Controller or the View? Likewise, should a script that loads a smarty template (from the view) and sets values ...
I am not a database guy. My understanding of data modelling is not extensive. From that limited understanding the logical data model is an abstraction of the physical data model, not containing anything specific to the specific storage product/medium. The logical data modelling does appear to involve business subject matter experts in th...

I've then created a tree structure and each file has a list of all the changelists and ones that pertain to bugs associated with them. I'm looking for awesome ideas o...
