but in the end performance testing could reveal that’s still better. In general, as mentioned previously, you shouldn’t think through these kinds of micro-optimizations unless you find that the allocations are actually the cause of grief, but regardless, it’s helpful to know where these all...

I’m assuming you’re somewhat familiar with async and await and quite familiar with MVVM. If that’s not the case, there are a number of helpful introductory materials available online. My blog (bit.ly/19IkogW) includes an async/await intro that lists additional resources at the end, and...

FP libraries traditionally provide synchronous composition withpipe(..)andcompose(..)(sometimes referred to by other names, likeflow(..)andflowRight(..), respectively). But asynchronous composition can be quite helpful! Transducing is another flavor of FP iteration; it's a combination of compositio...
[0038] These instructions may be expressed in a proprietary format understood only by distributor/updater (client side) 134, or it may be expressed using any one of a number of programming/script languages, such as C, Java, JavaScript or PERL, and the like. [0039] Referring now to FIG...
Runtime exceptions are common in many programming languages today. They offer a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they might make it (arguably) easier to write correct code, by removing the burden of checking return codes for every function. On the other hand, they can hide potential ...
the async/await keywords in C# 5.0 and VB 11. It does not supercede PetaPoco; the two can peacefully co-exist in the same project. When making the decision to go asynchronous, it's generally best to go "all in", but keeping both around can be helpful while making a gradual transition...
In my opinion, only the simplest of code can be tested without some kind of stub, mock, fake or other such device. In this introductory article, I’ll just refer to all of these testing assistants as mocks. When using mocks, it’s helpful to program to interfaces rather than implementati...
P. Birman, “How to securely replicate services,” ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, vol. 16, pp. 986-1009, May 1994 introduces secure state machine replication in a Byzantine environment and a broadcast protocol based on threshold cryptography that maintains causality among the...
