Great talk! This is really, really important stuff.
Thanks Rich for voicing so clearly what has to be eating so many developers. Great food for thought, and hopefully change!
Great talk. I think you pinpoint the limitations of OO very well and provide some rich insights into how they can be addressed. To me real benefits of this approach is the avoidance of concurrency complexity and the ability to assert confidence on the correctness of operation.
(Your reference to CAS had me confused for a while I was thinking "computer algebra system" rather than "compare and swap")
A very good talk!
I support the message that we should start looking at immutable data, i.e. value-oriented programming - and that the oo of today is out of sync with the kind of hardware and it systems we want to implement. However, there is still some way to go from the idea of using value-oriented programming to the design of an alternative programming paradigm that can replace (or improve) oo...
If someone are interested in seeing an (arguable more esoteric) use of value-oriented persistent tree data structure (XML) I wrote a paper a while ago on using a peer-to-peer value-oriented XML store as a distributed programming model. Of course it does not need to be distributed or peer-to-peer, the key point is to coordinate processes by their (atomic) updates (i.e. creation of new trees) to the XML store.
The paper (Distributed Reactive XML - an XML-centric coordination middleware ) can be found here www1.itu.dk/sw31433.asp. I would love to transfer this idea to multi-core processors..
Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
