Modular Java: Declarative Modularity
The fourth of the Modular Java series covers declarative modularity. It describes how components can be declaratively defined and wired together, without having a code dependency on OSGi APIs. Declarative services will be used to write POJOs together dynamically, such that code no longer needs to explicitly register or consume OSGi services, and without any start ordering dependencies.

Scrum And Strategy
If Scrum is all about short term, how then do the strategy folks work in such an ecosystem? More importantly, how does it help business leaders make and live up to important commitments? Good questions, but there aren’t easy enough answers. Doesn’t all this make strategy and Scrum look like the two poles of a magnet, or even further – the two extremes of the planet?

Decoupling REST URLs from Code using NetKernel Grammars
In this article, Randolph Kahle explores the challenge of combining the potentially fluid world of URLs with the more static world of deployed code. Examples of how incoming URLS are parsed and outgoing URLs are generated using NetKernel grammars are given, and the NetKernel grammar system is explored in detail.

MonoTouch: .NET Development for the iPhone
MonoTouch is a Mono based framework for building iPhone applications. While there is a certain sense of familiarity in using the C# language and its core libraries, developers will still need learn MonoTouch’s development environment and the iPhone’s unique GUI requirements. Bryan Costanich shows how to use it with the MonoDevelop IDE to quickly start building .NET-based iPhone applications.

Extreme Transaction Processing Patterns: Write-behind Caching
Lan Vuong shows how to optimize the performance of an application by leveraging the write-behind caching pattern which sends batch updates to the back-end database asynchronously within a user configurable interval of time, instead of doing sychronous write-through updates typical in web apps.

MicroORM - A Dynamically Typed ORM for VB and C# in about 160 Lines
Using the new DLR features in VB 10 and C# 4 you can build a configuration-free ORM that works well with legacy stored procedures. Though accessed using normal object-dot-property syntax, all the data objects are built at runtime based solely on the information returned by the database. And this is done with no interfaces to define, classes to implement, or data mapping definitions to write.
