I would be presenting on the subject [TS1114] at NIWeek 2018 Software Engineering Processes, Architectures and Design (SEPAD, AKA cee-pad) Track at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, May 23 in Room 16A. This is a follow-up to “SOLID Error Handling” presentation I gave at NIWeek 2017.
Abstract
Presentation discusses how application of SOLID Design Principles affects design and architecture of actor-based software. It covers the following topics:
- Why one should use SOLID Principles?
- Brief SOLID Principles Recap
- What is Actor Programming?
- Actor Programming Best Practices
- Actor Programming and SOLID Principles
- Messaging Topologies
and concludes with a summary:
- Consider using SOLID Principles to :
- Adapt Application Code to Requirements changes at incremental cost
- Substantially increase Code Reuse levels
- Enable design of Plug-In Architectures
- Actor Designs based on Command Pattern are SOLID-unfriendly
- Do proper due diligence before committing to a particular Actor Design/Framework
- Message Brokers provide SOLID support for Hybrid Messaging Topology
Hope to see some of you in room 16A,
Dmitry
