In my last few posts I have hammered a lot on simplicity in software. In my first post (Simplicity in software) I explained what the difference is between easy and simple code (or hard and complex code). On the basis that introducing frameworks and libraries...
In my post on how to simplify code by using composition instead of an AOP-framework I showed a way of substituting attribute based programming with a more composable paradigm. The result of that transformation will be my starting point for today’s post. For reference,...
In my previous posts I talked about how you can decrease dependency on external libraries and frameworks while making your code simpler (not easier, simpler). In this post I want to continue on the same thread and show some of the benefits of Pure DI...
In my previous post on how to simplify code by using composition I talked about how we can reduce complexity by removing an AOP-framework (or annotations-based programming). In this post I want to continue on the same line and talk about how we can reduce...
