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.

Strategic Domain Driven Design with Context Mapping

Many approaches to object oriented modeling tend not to scale well when the applications grow in size and complexity. Context Mapping technique can be used to manage the complexity in large software development projects. In this article, author Alberto Brandolini discusses the many sides of bounded contexts and how to use them to build a context map to support key decisions in a software project.

Classloader Acrobatics: Code Generation with OSGi

Porting great infrastructure to OSGi often means solving complex classloading problems. This article is dedicated to the frameworks that face the hardest issues in this area: those that do dynamic code generation. Incidentally these are also the coolest frameworks: AOP wrappers, ORM mappers, and service proxy generators are just a few examples.

Modular Java: Dynamic Modularity

Modularity is an important aspect of large Java systems. Build scripts and projects are often split up into modules in order to improve the build, but this is rarely taken into account at runtime. This third part of the Modular Java series discusses dynamic modularity, how a bundle's classes are resolved, how they can come and go, and how they can communicate with each other.

Modular Java: Static Modularity

Modularity is an important aspect of large Java systems. Build scripts and projects are often split up into modules in order to improve the build, but this is rarely taken into account at runtime. This second part of the Modular Java series discusses static modularity, the creation of bundles, how to install them into an OSGi engine and how to set up (versioned) dependencies between bundles.
