So I left it fermenting for a while.
Just these bloody forms. Gavin and Hibernate rock.
About a week after we started Bob was kind enough to lend us a space for our new little baby, and that's when we named it PicoContainer. This involved some simple reflection logic and was implemented in a couple of classes. How do you know whether that is needed or even if it's going to work? Consider the common situation where the desired object is composed of an aggregation of several other objects. NET, sometimes it's Excel or PHP.
The important point is that the supplied data can vary, and that has an impact on the structure of the concrete instance of the template. No web services, no scp.
In Ruby it's ridiculously easy to make this happen.
A piece of a program can supply some data to a class' constructor and get a new object.
NanoContainer is also an interesting sister project that adds scripted configuration using a multitude of script languages, as well as integration with WebWork, Hibernate and much more. First, not all browsers support it, and more importantly, most web ui designers don't speak XSL.
It all started when I asked Paul one night whether he had heard of Inversion of Control.
The important point is that the supplied data can vary, and that has an impact on the structure of the concrete instance of the template.
So I left it fermenting for a while. At the end of the day that will bring us code that is easier to maintain. We alternated the keyboard rapidly and made the test pass. Gavin and Hibernate rock. At the end of the day that will bring us code that is easier to maintain.
I've started to think about what it would be like to develop the view part of a webapp using the Ajax concepts. I still haven't tried to run it over any other codebases, so it remains to see whether it is useful or not.
But claiming that I have written a book about Excel VBA is just plain hilarious. A boiler-plate representation of something can be turned into a concrete instance by supplying some extra data.
