It's almost the same as of how I got into programming too! C64 Basic > Amiga Basic without numbers > QBasic. I couldn't work out how to get my Hello World to compile with NorthC either. Anyhow I enjoyed this post, it's rare that I can randomly find a descent blog on teh internet. I was searching Google for a North C compiler and randomly bumped into this post.

Me :o) It is all about componentization. If you consider that the NHibernate code is a single component, then use namespace for logical grouping and make them interdependent. However NHibernate weights 36 K Lines of Code, this is really huge for a single component. When one touch one methods, it means that potentially 36 K Lines of Code behavior can be modified since everything is inter-dependant.

The whitespace i hate in languages like VB, because when you have very long code, it's just plain hard to see where something ends, with brackets it's completely non-trivial, cause they sorta jump into your face to say: hey look, i start here & end here ..i love brackets :) And in the example where you say: {1..10} |> Seq.fold (+) 0;; is more readable, sorry, but i find: Enumerable.Range(1, 10).Sum(); to be the most readable (and understandable) of what is going on. The F# example just looks like a bunch of mathematical gibberish to me. Dropping the var doesn't shock me at all tho i can understand some ppl might wanna keep it as a visual queue (like me for brackets). Then for static imports ..i guess it won"t change much from extension methods, just do a (go to definition). - Robert I pretty much agree on everything aside 2 things.

]]> Comment on Business Logic is a Bad Word by Brian http://jrwren.wrenfam.com/blog/2008/07/14/business-logic-is-a-bad-word/#comment-30750 Brian Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:07:06 +0000 http://jrwren.wrenfam.com/blog/2008/07/14/business-logic-is-a-bad-word/#comment-30750 I disagree (superficially). When you look up the word "business" in the dictionary(.com), the first definition is: 1. an occupation, profession, or trade: His business is poultry farming. My objects have an occupation... their job is to handle the logic of your domain. My "Business Objects" are in the business of Math, Engineering, Medicine, Biology, etc. So, if someone says “I do not write business applications, therefore this silly separation of business logic does not apply to me”, they are simply misinterpreting the meaning of "business".
