Maintainability By Refusing null 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…
What is a µObject (micro-object)? It's a tiny object. Not a small object with a single responsibility - A µObject does one thing. Let me show with a simple example. If we have a method with a guard clause and then it does something; say Write "Hello…
In the last post we got the Title of the UWP app passing up the app. But it's not part of the app. There's no trigger for the app to LOAD the data. We have the mechanism; but where from? Today we'll get the…

I know I'll have disagreement on this; and I'm happy about that. One of the mechanisms I use for... what I can only call "Dependency Injection" or "Inversion of Control"... is to have multiple constructors. In the ideal I just have a…
I'm back to the UWP app after not too long of a break; and we really just need to get some things happening. I guess I'm more working to plan out the flow of the project. This is now fairly similar to a project for work…
