Inheriting code

When you inherit code, you have to stare and glare over it for a good while before you can start understanding it…at first it is a foreign land, but as time passes, you will begin to “see” the countours and reliefs of the land

Dont forget Git!!!

After you decide to download source off the internet, like zip files or after Microsoft MSI installs, DON’T FORGET TO DO GIT BASH/GUI HERE BECAUSE, inevitiably you will start changing the code, AND, if you mess up, which of course you will, you can use Git to go back ‘in time’ if you will and recover the file to whatever point you want…not to mention…you wil get great practice…LEARNING GIT, so, DON’T FORGET GIT

Abstracting Conversations

Before moving on to the next test, I need to refactor and tidy up the interactions between CommandParser and saleEventListener. I want to specify interactions between an object and its collaborators in terms of the application domain. The ItemEntered message takes into two arguments a string representing a barcodeand an integer representing quantity. What do these two arguments really represent in the domain of the application?
Rule of thumb: If you are passing around primitive data types among object collaborators, it may be an indication you are not communicating at the right level of abstraction. You need to see whether the primitive data types represent concepts in your domain that you may have missed.
In this case, the barcode is decomposed into manufactureCode and itemCode, which represents an item identifier. I can introduce the concept of an item identifier in the code. This should be an immutable type that can be constructed from a barcode, and I can give the ItemIdentifier the responsibility of decomposing the barcode into a manufacturer code and an item code. Similarly, quantity should be a value object as it represents a measurement—for example, the quantity of an item could be measured by weight.
For now, I don’t have a need yet to decompose the barcode or handle different types of measurements for quantity. I will simply introduce these value objects to ensure that communication between objects remains in domain terms. I refactor the code to include the concept of item identifier and quantity in the test. Click here to read Isaiah’s article…msdn article

T-SQL Rollback

I am sharing this T-SQL Forum link to a thread on a clean way to combine TRY CATCH WITH TRAN, ROLLBACK AND COMMIT : T-SQL FORUM POST-CLICK HERE


USE testdb
BEGIN TRAN
BEGIN TRY
INSERT INTO dbo.T1
( keycol, col1, col2 )
VALUES ( 6, 106, 'C6' ) ;
INSERT INTO dbo.T2
( keycol, col1, col2 )
VALUES ( 7, 201, 'X7' ) ;
IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0
COMMIT TRAN
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT
ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber
,ERROR_SEVERITY() AS ErrorSeverity
,ERROR_STATE() AS ErrorState
,ERROR_PROCEDURE() AS ErrorProcedure
,ERROR_LINE() AS ErrorLine
,ERROR_MESSAGE() AS ErrorMessage;
IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION;
END CATCH
SELECT * FROM dbo.T1 AS t
SELECT * FROM dbo.T2 AS t
