I understand that I should keep my business logic and UI separate, but I don't know if what I'm doing now violates that rule. I'm designing my financial program's table structure. I've had a little trouble visualizing some parts, so I mocked up some screens to help me sort out what all will be needed and how things fit together. I rea...
I'm a bit confused when it comes to Object oriented programming for say a 3 tier application. Here is just a small example of what I am trying to do (I will shorten the database design to make it simple). Assume I am making a ticket help desk system. A ticket has a description, a responsible person, a due date, and of course an ID (un...

I read in a forum discussion or article that a best practice is to go for a shallow tree with as few child Namespaces as possible but can't remember the reasoning behind it or the ...

Hi all, This is most certainly a language agnostic question and one that has bothered me for quite some time now. An example will probably help me explain the dilemma I am facing: Let us say we have a method which is responsible for reading a file, populating a collection with some objects (which store information from the file), and t...
I am looking to add custom reports/forms to a web application. I want users to be able to upload a report definition/template file and then be able to print out a PDF or word document (one or the other it doesn't need to be both) for each of their widgets based off of the template they uploaded. I can't install anything on the server ...
I was just think that now it is common to have enough RAM on your database server to cache your complete database why are the specialist in memory database (e.g TimesTen, see also Wikipedia page) that were all the rage a few years ago not being used more?

What I was wondering is, is it possible to change the layout of the gridview so that not all results are shown on one line and so I can move some results to a new lin...

I'm trying to decide which I should use typically, both in the interface and the implementation of a few classes that I'm writing. edit Let me nail this down a little further, I am using ...
I'm designing a public API in C++ and believe I'd like to retain C++ property-function style conventions that look like int& Value(), and const int& Value() const as opposed to get/set prefixes which return/assign by value because I feel the usage patterns are more concise and equally readable, while blending into existing C++ code very ...
I want to award points whenever someone edits a wiki page. Not all changes are equal, however. Creating the first revision of a document from a blank page is surely more valuable than inserting a missed comma. What are the mechanism that I can use to determine when a change between two document revisions is significant? Would a percent...

It will also be possible for other users to rate the shopping guide. I'm considering to award the owner of the shopping guide more points, if the guide is rated high. But...
In this text I read Be alert for a component that is just a glorified responsibility. A component is supposed to capture an abstraction that has a purpose in the system. It may happen that what appears at one moment as a meaningful component is really just a single responsibility left on its own. That responsibility c...
