In finance, options are powerful tools for traders, and many design practices including design patterns can be seen as options. Options can -perhaps- yield a great benefit for a certain and immediate cost. If this cost is cheap enough it can be quite attractive. An option to buy a stock is a right to buy [...]
Akai MPC program editor in Java
fév 5th, 2009
I juste wanted to automate the creation of programs for my Akai MPC500 sampler/groove machine, for my personal needs, and I ended up releasing a piece of software to sourceforge. It is called MPC Maid, read « assistant of the MPC », here is a screenshot of the program editor: The MPC file format was freely available [...]
The more patterns developers know, the most efficient they become within a team: it only takes one or two words (the pattern name) to communicate a design decision or proposal, instead of 10 mn of explanations. Communication also gets much more accurate and to-the-point (or less fuzzy). Because patterns often form a pattern language, not [...]
Composite patterns, such a the Bureaucracy pattern, are patterns built by the composition of other « smaller » patterns. However even usual design patterns can be considered composite patterns made of smaller subpatterns. The goal is therefore to find out which are the main subpatterns that enable to reconstruct as many design patterns as possible. The subpatterns [...]
New: Java API for UML diagrams
déc 7th, 2008
As part of the Patternity effort, I spent some time creating a simple Java API to generate UML diagrams programmatically from Java, in SVG format. This small API called for now Patternity Graphic is working and available here: patternitygraphic_src as a source Zip (alpha release of course). It can render small class diagrams with hierarchic, [...]
Patternity is back!
sept 27th, 2008
After my initial attempt at doing something useful and automated around design patterns, I started working again on a brand new version of a pattern-aware tool: Patternity. No more code generation, the focus is now on the generation of documentation artifacts (UML class and sequence diagrams, reports, enhanced Javadoc…) from the source code annotated with [...]
Choosing good names for your Java classes
avr 27th, 2006
With Object-Oriented programming we often have many classes, therefore it is really important to name them well. It’s amazing how I can spend so much time searching for good names for classes, and I do think it is worth doing it well, after all naming is all about making the code easy to read and [...]
Disposable code generation works great !
mar 29th, 2005
In a recent project I was asked to parse massive XML document from a third party provider. We had two problems: the xml document definition was very massive, with about 120 groups of different elements, leading to a total of around 1500 different elements to parse into java objects. The other problem was that our [...]
