There is one thing in common with a lot of software development companies, or companies that have a software development unit. That’s the system labeled with the monstrous name “Legacy”.
So what’s in it, really?
Is your software change tolerant? Is your software easy to adapt to changes proposed by the business, or the tech department itself? Are you software’s modules independent and enable change? Does your software enable quick releases?
If you were nodding your head negatively about all of the above mentioned questions, then… I am really sorry but you’re dealing with Legacy software.

What does TDD have to offer?
There is no difference between the notion of Test-Driven-Development and that of Test-Driven-Design; rather the former implies the later, meaning the Test-Driven-Development brings to Test-Driven-Design. The benefits of TDD are obvious, many studies have been carried out and some say … Continue reading

In a number of sessions I have attended in Software Architect 2010, the speakers mentioned Scala many times, particularly stating that Java is limited and that Scala is great both, since it follows the Functional Programming paradigm (not like Java … Continue reading
