re: Does Lazy Loading via Properties Violate Domain Driven Design Principles?

Maybe a better example would be:

order.LineItems.Count;

Obviously, it would be quicker to just get count(*) from the db if the list is not yet loaded.

Nice article - very useful, especially for beginners in the world of writing tests for legacy code.

But... my only criticism of your article is the whole HereBeDragons thing, going on the nature of the example is pretty silly and makes it a bit harder to follow.

I know it seems crusty and clichéd, but an example grounded in the real world would have been bit more suitable.

re: jQuery Demo 1

joey — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 11:04:12 GMT

Two things.

Never use inline styles, unless you have to. This is a last resort option. Prefer always to use CSS classes when applying presentation changes to the DOM. This makes it flexible to change with other DHTML code.

Second. I've used this pattern with jquery often for my alternating rows in a grid. Just be conscious what you are doing, this is all client side. If there were a 1000 or more rows you are putting a lot of stress on the client vs. if you did it server side it would just be rendered with the CSS class.

jQuery FTW.

Had me own take on unobtrusiveness some months ago, expressing my love in jQuery. Sometimes I need that stuff...

Man, I always get that wrong. Maybe I should pick an easier title, like chief dufus.

Thanks for the catch
