Dependency injection A little modified quote from Wikipedia, Dependency injection article (This quote is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0): In software engineering, dependency injection is a technique whereby one object (or static method) supplies the dependencies of another object. A dependency is an object that can be used (a service). An injection is the passing of a dependency to a dependent object (a client) that … Continue reading Pure Dependency Injection in D
Iury de Oliveira was my business partner, see The Worst Software Startup Ever. But he has go somehow mad (probably of bad alcohol). Now he is threatening me by emails that he will distribute a wrong information about me (that I distribute his software, however, there is no his single line of code in this software). Probably he has gone mad of bad alcohol. Maybe … Continue reading The transcript of the correspondence with another developer
Almost since childhood I had two dreams: to discover algebraic general topology and to make my own XML standard on automatic conversion between XML namespaces. This article is related to the second topic. More specifically, this article is about applying my automatic XML transformations to the following problem: Create my own HTML-standard which is truly extensible, to which it’s easy to add macroses and scripting, … Continue reading A New Independent Take on HTML Standards and How to Use My XML Templates in Practice
There is a C library librdf. I wrote its D wrapper to be used for my revolutionary software XML Boiler. I did for most kinds of objects *WithFinalize and *WithoutFinalize. *WithoutFinalize holds a copy of a C library handle, which should not be finalized when the D struct holding it is destroyed. I wrote even an article on this my “great” idea. But now I’ve … Continue reading A Programming Task I Overengineered
A man once contacted me and offered to participate in a joint software project. At first, I misunderstood him and thought it is just some open source. I refused because have more important projects to work on. But we kept talking, I realized that the proposed project is commercial. The project didn’t look very promising, but I decided that it is better to share in … Continue reading The Worst Software Startup Ever
This is the rating of the worst engineer decisions causing the most damage to the civilization. The 1 st place. Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie. Estimated amount of damage: $50 trillion. What they did: They invented C programming language. The damage: Due to a sticky tradition most operating systems are written in this silly programming language, what leads to countless errors, hard work … Continue reading The anti-rating of people causing the most technological damage
I am happy to announce the first release (v0.1.0) of XML Boiler (Automatic transformation of XML namespaces) software. This release is alpha. But it seems to be already useful. For example, the documentation of XML Boiler is built using XML Boiler itself. Here is the list of advantages of this new kind of XML software: freely intermix tag sets of different sets of tag semantics (using … Continue reading XML Boiler (Automatic transformation of XML namespaces) is released
XML Boiler project reached an important milestone: To make the first release it remains to debug it. (Also need to create particular XML processing scripts to make it useful.) XML Boiler is the implementation of my Automatic transformation of XML namespaces specification, which is going to revolutionarize processing of XML documents both locally and on the Web. Please donate to porton@narod.ru at PayPal. Continue reading XML Boiler project reached an important milestone
Dear Martin, This is a letter to Martin Fowler, which I also publish in my blog. I am rather wondered why you don’t do any mention in your article https://www.martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html about the following problem: Real classes which use dependency injection very often may need to pass some of their dependencies to implementation classes which they depend on. This may lead to increase of the number … Continue reading Letter to Martin Fowler
I originally started to write my XML Boiler software in Ada. Ada compiler has too many bugs. I switched to Java. I discovered for myself that Java byte arrays are limited to about 4GB of bytes, this makes problematic processing of big XML files. I switched to Python. Now I have finished translating it from Java to Python. Now I can continue to implement features. … Continue reading Finished translation of namespace transformer to Python
