Sometimes you can relate the decisions and leanings of software development with other events of your life. Recently I have had a deja vu (Déjà vu) effect while brainstorming big bang vs piece meal approach to decouple a complex monolith. A story of failed family holiday Let me tell you a small story from my… Read More Monolith to microservices – a journey of baby steps.
We are living in exciting times, when frameworks we are using are becoming more and more extensible and giving us more power to build highly complex systems. In my previous few posts I have written about how to use the extensions/patterns to simplify your code while providing solutions for equally complex domains. In this post… Read More Why you should care about more than just your code.

I recently came across a logic, which was going to create a maze… Read More How to simplify complex logic using declarative coding in C#.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we can bring some of the concepts from c#/java world in a cleaner way, so that we have more readable java-script. Well ES6 (EcmaScript 6) bring us very close to… Read More Write future proof java-script – ES6 and Build Automation using gulpJS, jspm and systemJS
This is my third and last post in the series of writing multi-tenant applications. Before this I have discussed how to avoid if/else type structures and how context based dependency injection can help us do it efficiently. In this post I will focus on the UI side of the application. One of the main traits of the… Read More Multitenant Application – Part 3: AOP in MVC to develop multi-tenant and regional applications
Further to the previous post, object creation based on the current context is a cross cutting concern, so it should be dragged outside the core business logic. We have already tried creating a factory method to give us the required implementation. We will now replace this with a container to allow Inversion Of Control. The most simplest… Read More Multitenant Application – Part 2: Context driven dependency injection
Have you seen code like this and wonder how to make it cleaner? I often see a web of if/then or switch statements sprawled out to various parts of an application to provide a country or client specific code paths.
