In an Agile environment we try to creat “just enough documentation” and “just enough architecture”. To achieve this we need our source code to become a part of the documentation.
At this point most developers will jump in the air and all others will go “oooh NO”. The reason why we have such reactions is because developers think they don’t need to do anything and all others think the code is not readable. I must say that in the past the last argument was pretty much true, but all of this has changed or it needs to change fast. Read more…

There are lot of programming languages in the world, there is one for everybody. All those languages have something in common and that is that they are trying to help you solve a problem. But they all try to do it there own way.
Every company has struggled one way or another to chose what programming language to use for a project. If they haven’t then they probably chose what they already have been using. For those that have been choosing most of the time they were looking at things like, can we find experts, is the language fast, secure, does it help us solve our problems faster and tools for the language. But have we ever looked at code size or language syntax and decided on that as well? Probably not, but should we? Read more…

We all know that testing is important and since more and more companies started doing agile we all have learned that testing needs to be done on the go and not at the end of our software development. Where couple of years ago it was very hard to find teams with testers in them now you can find a lot of them. Besides that it was very hard to convince companies why you needed a tester on the go and why that was better and cheaper than doing “some” testing at the end. Now days it’s all much easier and companies understand the benefit of testing on the go instead of doing bulk testing at the end of the software development. Read more…

Last day I got a tip about this old article “Java Is A Dead-End For Enterprise App Development”. My first thought was: “Here we go again, someone who is claiming a programming language is dying. The never ending returning discussion.” But I read it never the less Read more…

Integration frameworks are getting more popular because you can easily integrate services or you can use them to integrate partial application parts to one application. To show you how easy it has become to integrate we did a 10 Minutes Hands-On at the It-Eye open space and this was the working result of that.

On our last IT-Eye openspace meeting we got a great explanation of The Business Model Canvas from our colleague Tim Pinchetti. I found it very interesting to see how simple The Business Model Canvas is for sketching new or existing business models. As this was not a presentation but an open discussion we soon ended up in sketching a real life business model. While we discussed our new business model it was clear to me that the only thing you needed to know to be able to fully understand what the model meant were the 9 blocks on the canvas. When you know the meaning of those 9 blocks you are capable to sketch, understand or discuss The Business Model Canvas. Read more…
