Oct14 - How future generations can look back on this day as the Breakthrough moment in the Australian Constitution

Constitutionally Speaking: A Commonsense Approach to Make Constitution Align With Commonsense is- the Voice - Why is this a breakthrough concept for someone who understands the difference between Constitution and Law?

Constitutionally Speaking: A Commonsense Approach to Make Constitution Align With Commonsense is- the Voice – Why is this a breakthrough concept for someone who understands the difference between Constitution and Law? Constitutions often embody the fundamental beliefs, values, and principles that are widely accepted and held by the people at the time of their drafting. In this sense, it can be…

Client-Server ,ESB , SOA, API, Microservice , Event Driven , Reactive ,Containers…those of you who have persisted in the world of #softwaredevelopment long enough would be able to draw a chronological line through those terms that will span couple of decades ..at least …However the fundamental problem remains , how to make a large number of smaller pieces of…

Introducing CONTEXTFLOW

The invisible elephant in the scene in computing practices I have started a Github page to record the goal and progress of “CONTEXTFLOW” , a methodology , a discipline and a framework for development. Below is the link to that page. /https://spicecoder.github.io/ContextFlow_Intro/

Using/Sharing NodeJS Project Source Codes Across Multiple Npm Projects

Using/Sharing NodeJS Project Source Codes Across Multiple Npm Projects

I spent some time today finding a solution for a problem , where we have a single repo with multiple independent NodeJS projects.

There are several solutions on the internet , but the solution described here meets our goal without creating unnecessary git sub modules /sub tree or exporting code to a platform like Bit: https://bit.dev/ , which are all overkill for our purpose.

The solution…

Simple Redux : Dispatch any number of random State changes & your supplied Listener get invoked with new state, with Integrity.

Simple Redux : Dispatch any number of random State changes & your supplied Listener get invoked with new state, with Integrity.

The essence of redux is rightly illustrated by one of the examples provided in the redux site ; however I have not seen it expressed in such simple terms in normal Redux discussions and tutorials on the web.

It can be simply expressed as dispatch state change event + invoke listener with the new state.

I can’t help but reproduce the sample here , just save the html and open in the browser…

The subtle but true agility: handling situation in hand

The subtle but true agility: handling situation in hand

I am in Hanoi and working with a team of very young developers. They all speak a broken english , enjoy work and speak and shout in Vietnamese loud. To a typical westerners they may seem like immatures ,lacking the finer sense of computing and appreciation of best practices in software engineering . To a typical agile master it may seem impossible to bring to them an appreciation of stories or…

MVC: Why Cognitive Proximity Matters, Why the Truth Statement Matters.

MVC: Why Cognitive Proximity Matters, Why the Truth Statement Matters.

Recently I revisited  one of the materials  from my old collections of research topics where I was trying to introduce the concept of cognitive proximity.  About twenty years ago I got interested in cognitive science, mainly because one of its topic of interest in this science  is the  “human attention”.  As any software developer would know , you can not write a single piece of code without this…

Drive An App Through its Design time Truth Statements

Drive An App Through its Design time Truth Statements

It is a reality in our mind that when we focus on certain subject matter we can come with some clear statements about the subject matter. This is quite evident when we start to design an App from scratch. At that point the requirements are clearer along with some implied conditions that has to be satisfied ; lets say a simple login app which has two requirements ,verify the userid is an existing…

Android :On Making the View Dumber

Android :On Making the View Dumber

MVC is a design pattern that is embedded into any interaction we can design with a   computational  tool , whether it is a little button on a web page, or an App to make a result appear on a visible screen or a screen transition for a nice animation to show what is next etc.

Why it is so ubiquitous  ? The short answer would be -it is just a way to co-ordinate our hand and eye within a certain…

Dependency injection through Android App companion Objects

Dependency injection through Android App companion Objects

Dependency injectionis an established software practice to write good testable code. While no developer can walk away from best practises like producing testable code, it is often necessary to stay away from any extra framework and avoidable code dependency on external libraries. Our goal is to make a way to develop components that are dependency free at the design time ,coding time, runnable…

The Cognitive Appeal of the Clean and the New Android Architectures

The Cognitive Appeal of the Clean and the New Android Architectures

Android’s new architecture component is now official and solidified. No doubt the architecture components  like View Models and LiveData will make the life of new comers  in the Android development  world much more painless.

But to a seasoned developer the question will inevitably arise how and where the new architecture components sit with the concepts of Clean Architecture as promoted by uncle

Javascript view of Objects and the JSON

Javascript view of Objects and the JSON

Now-a-days I don’t code javascript code on a regular basis. Most of the time I  spend writing code in Java. I noticed every time I switch back to javascript , I have to remind myself what is an object in java script. My early orientation into the object oriented programming has trained my mind to see the objects being instances of Class,  as having a set of variables ,implied structures by their…

Representational State and Persistence State : A subtle difference

Representational State and Persistence State : A subtle difference

In recent times REST has become a standard way to render a web service or a service over the internet. In most cases a service is also associated with a data base operation, although there is no good reason to assume that association by default. Just taking a step back, we know , historically software development industry  has embraced data bases much earlier than it embraced Internet and we…

Application Face,Face Backend & Backend [AF-FB-AB], good bye MVC

Application Face,Face Backend & Backend, good bye MVC

If you have worked with any software application that has a interactive component where you can click,drag, draw etc, you shall find three distinct layers in play. One is overtly focussed on what is displayed on the screen which I call Application Face ,this deals with colour position decorative texts and data values.

Next  is the fields or data model that populates the screen with  data in…

Although not much is talked about this aspect of interaction in the context of Enterprise Application Integration, the…

Spftware Development Model based on Co-Actor paradigm between Business and IT

I have started this notion of Computing with Words , which in the first sight may appear ‘whats the big deal?’ and as my wife rightly pointed out very early ‘ words have meaning , you computer nerds do not understand that , you only understand if -then ‘ , well I could not convince her that that is the sole reason that I started this group or concept I call ‘ word based computing’  and not object…
