We are having a discussion about Integration strategies. The main argument is about what is a strategy and what is a technique. For example Hub-and-Spoke is a strategy, but REST is a technique. Or maybe not? What would be your list of integration strategies? ...

Hey Folks, I have a program which is built on "Entities", which hold "Components" (composition FTW). Components may include many different types including scripts, assets, etc. I would like to build an Entity function called Entities have a map of strings, and actual Components, such that the Components can be searched for by type na...
Hi, I new to source control, but i like the thought that i can step back to one point. I read that only code that is ready for release should checked in the repository. If I want to play a round a little bit with one piece of code, to try different things. I can't step back to e.g. variant number 2 of my play stuff. It's not in the re...
Hi, I've moved to a new project team and while going over the codebase, found that the team have created a number of local web services which then get called by server code in other web pages within the same application. I'm somewhat puzzled by this architecture, as I'd thought local web services were something you'd then access from t...
I manage a small team of .net developers in what is chiefly a mainframe shop. My boss is trying to integrate my team more closely with the other development teams. One issue that has come up is that the mainframe programmers have what they call a "parts" database. This is a simple database in which you enter a software part (object, unit...

My current idea of the architecture is as follows: EntityFramework -> ASP.NET MVC (Views) EntityFramework -> ASP.NET MVC with WCF endpoints -> mobile Apps.

What resources can I draw from to make architectural decisions for a large software project. I'm not looking for a holy war of which set up is better - but good resources to learn. When I refer to architectural decisions here I mean choosing a thick vs. thin vs. web-based client, different stacks for the server, etc. e.g. a Java s...

Why does the high part of the stack (in Exception.StackTrace) gets truncated? Let's see a simple example: public void ExternalMethod() { InternalMethod(); } public void InternalMethod() { try { throw new Exception(); } catch(Exception ex) { // ex.StackTrace here doesn't contain ExternalMethod()! } } It seems l...
e.g. imagine (this isnt the real problem but it's v similar) I'm legally required to provide a 'family-safe' search engine. I'd like to permit (or turn a blind eye to) third parties supplying, or users using, plugins that I legally can't supply. The third party plugins would be downloaded by the site user & I'd have nothing to do with...
In a component based architecture where a large number of decoupled components communicate through a set of standardized interfaces - are there any guidelines for where-to-store / how-to-group the interfaces? Extreme solutions would be: All in the same assembly (and off you go) One assembly for each interface Both of these option se...
Totally new to Silverlight (and XAML), but a long-time c# developer. I am building an app that will look similar to this: Basically the user clicks on a node in the tree (Panel 1) and new content appears in Panel 3. In Winforms, I would have just built a UserControl for each node and just swap the Panel 3 based on the node clicked....
I have sales people and bean counters who are trying to sell customizations to clients, which is fine. But when a complex change request comes in that I send back a large estimate for, they get confused. Often they come back at me with "Why can't you just add another column?" which by another, they mean a dozen or so custom columns PER...
This is all in C#, using .NET 2.0. I have two lists of objects. They are not related objects, but they do have certain things in common that can be compared such as a Guid based unique identifer. These two lists need be filtered by another list which just contains Guid's which may or may not match up with the ID's contained in the firs...
I’m scoping a new software project and haven’t had much experience with software development. This is a multipart question. What are some recommended books for web application architecture?

Hi, I am looking for a good book to prepare for Sun Certified Enterprise Architect (SCEA) exam step 1 (see here). Can anyone, preferrably with experience taking the exam, recommend one? Or two... Thanks. ...
I find myself very often creating an object that has no public methods and is self-contained. It typically handles events of arguments passed to its constructor in its private methods and does not raise any events or expose any public methods. I am calling this type of objects "passive" objects - objects that do not have any public meth...
I am used to doing development while following agile practices, so short iterations, with very flexible planning, as the design can change based upon comments/suggestions. But, I recently had interviewed for a job where all their development is done in India, and since I have never done anything like that I wasn't offered the job. So, ...
