Reduce Chain and Extract Projection Refactorings

Reduce Chain and Extract Projection Refactorings

One of the principles I introduce in my new talk is Strive for Functional Cohesion. My original article on the subject focuses on determining where the functionality belongs, then adding it to it’s appropriate place. In that scenario, I had complete access to the code. Sometimes, however, you don’t have access to the code to make the change, or the implementation belongs to an interface. If the functionality is assign appropriately, it makes the code much easier to read.var lines = File.ReadAllLines("fil... (more)

Mapping Relationships using Fluent nHibernate

In my last post I went over the basics of mapping properties on a POCO object to fields on a database table. If you haven’t already check it out here. In this post I’m going to focus on mapping relationships, that is, what if we wanted our objects to contain concrete references to the objects with which they have relationships, rather than just foreign key properties.One To One Relationships Take a look at the way we set up the File object in the previou...

Two Microsoft Research Projects to Start the Robot Apocalypse

Two Microsoft Research Projects to Start the Robot Apocalypse

I started writing this article with code in mind. It wasn’t until I put the pieces together that I realized the repercussions. The two projects I write about allow one to specify and create the robots to start the robot apocalypse. Warning: you might need Robotic Studio as well! Microsoft Research has a tendency to release things that require several cups of coffee to wrap my head around, and the TLA Toolbox is no exception.

A Tale of Two Principle Violations

published 52 days, 1 minute ago posted by

KodefuGuru 52 days, 7 hours, 10 minutes ago

When I decided to write the With statement in Fluent.NET, I never imagined that I would encounter a common bug and school myself in principles that I happen to present on. But that is what occurred, and I want to share it so others can avoid the same mistakes I made. With is a Fluent version of Add, only it returns the object or interface it is acting upon rather than void. This allows you to chain methods together in a fluid manner. Instead of calling strings.Add(“Hello”); strings.Add(“World”);, you ca... (more)

Refactor Switch to Dictionary

published 54 days, 56 minutes ago posted by

KodefuGuru 56 days, 16 hours, 20 minutes ago

In my post on Z3, I created an extension method for proving an equation. This extension method used a switch statement to analyze a result and return a string. This is a bad practice: the mapping of one type to another is trapped in code. What if I wanted to move this mapping to a configuration file, a resource file, or a database? Even if I didn’t want to do that, I feel an imperative switch statement isn’t as readable as a declarative statement. Favor Declarative over Imperative. Below is the original ... (more)

Find and Replace Text with Regex

posted by

KodefuGuru 64 days, 13 hours, 52 minutes ago

A common scenario you may be faced with is displaying text to a user that contains identifying information such as social security numbers. This is a pretty simple task in .NET if you know the correct class and methods to use. The first thing you’re going to need is a regular expression pattern. Here’s a simple one for a social security number: \d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}. The next thing you should do is add a reference to System.Text.RegularExpressions. Now, we can get to coding.string text = "garbage text 123-... (more)

Solve SMT Problems with Z3

Microsoft Research has released Z3 2.4. Z3 is a Satisfiability Modulo Theories problem solver. This is the first time I’ve downloaded Z3 and the first time I’ve researched SMT problems, so I’m unfamiliar with them at this point. Being a little curious as to what implications this could have for the .NET framework, I opened up the dotnet example. The it has a simple cs file and a build.cmd, so I built it. When I ran the resulting executable, I’m not sure if I received the expected output because parser_e... (more)

Null Coalescing Assignment Operator for C# 5

Null Coalescing Assignment Operator for C# 5

If you read my article on the null coalescing operator (??), you’ve probably got a good idea on how useful it is. It makes your code more declarative, which makes it easier to read. But I find one thing disappointing about it, which I hope can be corrected in C# 5 with the introduction of a new operator. One way to use the null coalescing operator is by check a variable against itself, and if it’s null assign another value. Besides eliminating imperative code, this is great when combined with factory me... (more)

Mono.rocks faisait déjà la même chose... http://www.mono-project.com/Rocks This translates to “nothing new… Mono.rocks was already doing the same thing.” I was aware of Mono.Rocks before I released Fluent.NET, so why did I bother?

The first release of Fluent.NET is in the wild. It’s not a lot right now, but it is useful, and it will grow as I come across .NET framework methods that should be more fluent. So perhaps I should explain what Fluent.NET is. As an English speaker (a fair assumption since you’re reading my blog), you probably read from left to right.
