Legacy-code monoliths are one of these challenges which lead often to controversy discussions and questions like:
In this post I’d like to describe a way how to create the first code-sketch which could lead to an insight into the possibilities to tackle the beast step by step. Weiterlesen
On almost every desk on this planet lies a pen and a piece of paper for notes. In the programmers or software-architects world notes are especially technical notes about a component or system – drawn e.g. as UML-sketches on a paper or via an UML tool. However a few minutes and discussions later the names of the UML-boxes are typed into an IDE as part of source-code that will be written during the next days, weeks, months… Weiterlesen
Writing code to sketch the first core feature of an application could lead to a point where the next feature has to be realized roughly, too – just because of trivial dependencies. The code-base grows and when you are unlucky the overview of the sketches gets lost. However keeping the code-base clean and open for the future has to be a goal and can be achieved by applying the SOLID principles. Weiterlesen
Almost every new project contains legacy code, legacy components or systems. Besides the business-logic a lot of boilerplate code has to be created; only to realize the integration of the legacy parts. Additionally at the beginning of a project it is not clear if the chosen approach works to integrate the legacy components. Coding different scenarios to integrate several technologies is not done within a few hours, more likely in a couple of days. I.e an architecture or integration prototype would be helpful to verify the ideas and figuring out possible issues and challenges up front. Weiterlesen
Writing code that uses external APIs is not trivial and testing it neither. This post describes how to drive code around external APIs initially and is the second part of How to drive code by sketching it. The test-approach is only one of a couple of possibilities and used just to outline how to drive code via Quick-Fix of an IDE like eclipse. Weiterlesen
