I've covered never having nulls [https://quinngil.com/2017/10/15/uobjects-no-nulls/] and that's what the NullObject [http://wiki.c2.com/?NullObject] pattern is here to help us with. The NullObject pattern is one that I tried to implement earlier in my career (mostly after reading…
A conflict that has come up a few times is using composition and a pass through or a base class I favor pass through; I write it that way Everytime. The other engineer on the project favors a base class. Here's an example of what we've…
My thoughts about Object Oriented Programming has evolved over the years. Especially in the past 6 months. My development of MicroObjects has caused a lot of thinking about Object Oriented Programming and how to develop better and more maintainable software. A lot of great discussions that have certainly helped drive…
I found I'm not a huge fan of the video. I don't tend to put a lot of time and effort into each post; it's an opportunity for me to share research and experimentation with the world; as well as give myself a searchable…
I've been pondering how to do some µObjects in a more intelligent system for a while. I'm going to try to use Magic: The Gathering for this. Much like the poke one; the idea here is to explore µObjects and how they can be applied in…
I expect us all to be aware of the anti-pattern Primitive Obsession. If not - there [http://wiki.c2.com/?PrimitiveObsession] are [https://refactoring.guru/smells/primitive-obsession] some [http://blog.thecodewhisperer.com/permalink/primitive-obsession-obsession] quick [http://blog.ploeh.dk/2011/05/25/DesignSmellPrimitiveObsession/] resources [https://lostechies.com/jimmybogard/2007/12/…
Redundant code is code that changes at the same time for the same reason. Part of object oriented programming is limiting change to a single place. If it changes, it should change in one place. How do µObjects encourage being nonredundant? By focusing on doing one thing. Let's…
Being assertive is about being self-responsbile. Being assertive is about an object being lazy. This also has the object doing all behaviors for the state it holds. It follows from encapsulation that an object will be assertive. How do µObjects encourage this? µObjects do a single thing, and you need…
