TDD

Tests and the Red | Green | Blue cycle put pressure on your design all the time as you code. Your design decisions are guided by that pressure.

As Corey Haines once stated: "It's like having a little buddy as you code, helping you along, pointing things out such as when your design sucks, when you've broken something, etc."

• forces you to only create enough code to make a test pass (you’re keeping lean all the time)
• you won’t be able to write the next test if you have code that’s too coupled
• you’ll know immediately when you’ve broken behavior. This is different than test after.

If you want to learn Scala, I’d suggest:

• Install IntelliJ + Scala Plugin
• Don’t do the Coursera courses yet.
• Don’t do the “red book” Functional Programming in Scala yet.
• Do: http://underscore.io/books/
  • Essential Scala
  • Essential Play
  • Essential Slick
• Do Scala for the Impatient: https://www.amazon.com/Scala-Impatient-Cay-S-Horstmann/dp/0321774094

When you do your first Sonar run on your project, you get a lot of new quality numbers to play with, but no trends. You only have one data set for comparison, the now picture.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could see the current trend of the project without waiting a couple of month for the 'daily/weekly' Sonar runs to fill up the data? Well, you're in luck! And if you're using git as a version system as well, this is your day. :)

In the Sonar Advanced Parameter documentation you will find a System Property called sonar.projectDate. The property let you tell Sonar when in time the running analysis was ran.

By combining this property and what your version system does best, track changes to source, we can now play back the history of the project as far as Sonar is concerned.

This little Bash script illustrates the concept. To spell out what it does in human readable form:

xpepper

node {
    // https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/maven/
    def maven32 = docker.image('maven:3.2-jdk-7-onbuild');
    
    stage 'Mirror'
    // First make sure the slave has this image.
    // (If you could set your registry below to mirror Docker Hub,
    // this would be unnecessary as maven32.inside would pull the image.)
    maven32.pull()
    // We are pushing to a private secure docker registry in this demo.

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

• http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

• Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
• Have we kept things as simple as possible?

Learning Object Oriented Python

I wrote this as a guide for a financial analyst friend of mine looking to learn Python. He is already fairly well versed in doing Project Euler problems in Ruby. All italicized text is for the benefit of any other readers, such as yourself.

Each section is divided into a short resource (10 minutes or less), a long resource (days to weeks or more), and a challenge.

So what you're looking to do is to be able to recreate financial models in code. And other types of models. This is a noble pursuit.

Functions

Functions should be small

Four to six lines long

• "A long function is where the classes go to hide"

Functions should do only one thing
