There's a couple types of places where the code we write interacts with the code someone else wrote. This could be another team, a 3rd party library, or the operating system. When we interact with these components, we're tying our code to their code in some…

µObjects: By Example - Playing Cards I've been a bit remiss on good code examples for µObjects. I've been planning a few things; never got them done. Almost entirely because I'm lazy. So... I'm going to try a simple example of the…

We're using the UWP Maps control to display some stuff at work. The data we get is in miles and the map wants meters. How to do this maintainably? The namesake of the blog. The Quanity and Conversion patterns. These are described in Fowler's Analysis Patterns…
Inheritance is a code smell. Composition over Inheritance This is a known suggestion to improve the maintainability of software. How does this play into microObjects? Everything has a single responsibility. It's doing A thing; as I talk about in µObjects: Principles to code by [https://quinngil.com/2017/…
In object oriented programming we need to create objects. It's kinda how things get done. Here's a high level question for you - When do we instantiate an object? Pull up a few source files - Where do you see object creation happening? Is it scattered…
Our goal as software developers is to produce code that can be easily maintained. This is frequently a challenge; as writing good code is hard. µObjects is a way of Object Oriented Programming that I've found gives us this. There are a number of ways that µObjects improve…
