MVC: How to avoid updating certain Views when parts of Model have changed
I have a (hopefully) quick question related to the Observer and MVC patterns. Suppose I have an observable Model object that has a Foo value and a Bar value. It has getter and setter methods for Foo and Bar, where the setter method would notify any observers of the Model. The Model therefore has at least two a... 19 May 2007 18:33

theoretical, anyone?
Hi, I was thinking and well... in a basic class (any language) you can have * constructors/destuctors * modifiers * selectors * iterators * ??? Example: class Person { String fname; String lname; Person() // constructor setName(String fn) fname=f... 18 May 2007 19:09

Some theory
This question is related to OMT. Suppose we are given two classes: expression and functions, to be represented by a class diagram. Expressions are aggregation of functions (is-a-part-of relationship) while functions are themselves aggregate of expressions. But aggregation is not a symmetric relation. So how to repr... 18 May 2007 23:17

design pattern for a wizard
I am in the process of developing a Wizard. It needs to start with one question and branch in many different directions. I am sure I am not the first one to face this problem, so I am wondering if there is a design pattern out there for it or something. I don't know if a design pattern is the correct thing to b... 18 May 2007 18:38

Do you need a Casandra -T-))
Fortunately there is someone (-T-) in this newgroup acting like a Casandra. As far as remember former Intel CEO (Andy Groves) did regretted not listenning to his "Casandra" staff after his company was hit by stock failure. If you would like to improve yourself you have to find your own "Casandra" or split your... 16 May 2007 19:29

Text terminal rendering design
I'm casually working on a project to create an OO text terminal library. The purpose of it is similar to PDCurses and I intend to use PDCurses at the lowest level of implementation, but because I am increasing the abstraction beyond what little abstraction PDCurses offers, I also have the possibility for more i... 7 Jun 2007 18:55

SOA vs OO
My employer has decided it's committed to SOA. That's fine by me, it seems like SOA has benefits. In my spare time projects I've benefitted from platform agnostic public services such as various blogging APIs, the Flickr API etc. But in those cases, I've always found it useful to use wrapper librarys to abstra... 16 May 2007 05:43
