Optimistic locking and automatic retry
In this post, I’m answering a reader’s question about how to combine an optimistic locking and automatic retry.
Value Object: a better implementation
This post is about a better implementation of Value Object.
Short-term vs long-term perspective in software development
In this post, I’d like to talk about what I think is one of the most damaging attitudes a company or a person can have in the field of software development: short-sighted perspective.
Always valid vs not always valid domain model
I’m back to the regular posting schedule. No more game development, at least for now.
How I tried to get into game development and failed, part 3
Final part of my story about game development. First part, second part. Client side load balancing In the previous post, I wrote about performance optimizations. We figured that a single 1 CPU server in Azure could handle up to 600 simultaneous users spread across 3 game scenes (also known as game arenas; each scene takes one OS process). Now we needed a mechanism for distributing the players across multiple servers and game scenes in those servers.
How I tried to get into game development and failed, Part 2
Part 2 of my story. You can read the first part here. Working on the tank design I wrapped up the previous post by saying that we decided to change the game idea from robots to tanks. We refined our vision of the game. There were going to be multiple tank levels to introduce a sense of progression. When starting up, you’d have a tank with the least amount of health (hit point, HP) and fire power, and proceed to a tank of the highest level.
How I tried to get into game development and failed
If you read this blog regularly, you know that I usually write about DDD, functional programming, and enterprise software development best practices in general. These are the techniques I enjoy talking about, as well as applying them in my own projects. However, there was another field I always wanted to try myself in. That is game development. The ability to write my own games was the reason why I started learning to program in the first place. And I believe many programmers had this motivation behind their careers as well.
But let’s start from the beginning.
How to request information from multiple microservices?
This post is about how to work with information that is spread across multiple microservices.
Specification Pattern in C# Pluralsight course
My new course Specification Pattern in C# for Pluralsight went live. Specification Pattern in C# This is a fairly short course (about an hour) which will teach you everything about the Specification Pattern and how to apply it in C# in combination with modern ORMs. From this course, you will learn: Use cases for the Specification Pattern. Common pitfalls people run into when implementing it.
Value Objects: when to create one?
In this post, we’ll discuss Value Objects. Specifically, when to introduce them into your code.
