Hi, I find that whenever I create a layer/tier, I have to translate between one layer to the other, does that mean it is a tightly coupled system? If I was to change a business logic, remove a field in the database, etc, I would have to change ALL layers from the database layer to the client front end? E.g. A web service that exposes...
Can I improve my module-skin architecture somehow?
Hi, I'm designing a CMS for a private project that should make the editing of the website simple. It supports modularism. However, it's still in beta, and I'm now asking if you can see something I could improve or if you have some entirely different approaches to this scenario.

Application Architect vs. Systems Architect vs. Enterprise Architect?
So many buzzwords. Not sure if I need to start playing BS Bingo or not. And I'm not trying to be cynical. But I've heard many people with these various titles.

Why do stacks typically grow downwards?
I know that in the architectures I'm personally familiar with (x86, 6502, etc), the stack typically grows downwards (i.e. every item pushed onto the stack results in a decremented SP, not an incremented one). I'm wondering about the historical rationale for this. I know that in a unified address space, it's convenient to start the stac...

Fine-grained visibility for 'internal' members
Recently I was reading about partitioning code with .NET assemblies and stumbled upon a nice suggestion from this post: "reduce the number of your .NET assemblies to the strict minimum". I couldn't agree more! And one of the reasons I personally see most often, is that people just want to isolate some piece of code, so they make the typ...

These rules looked pretty much like this: "If em...
