A while ago I blogged about a pattern useful to ensure that just a single instance of a class was created and used during a unique request-response pair. That seemed to make sense, since using the HttpContext.Items property prevents a single pipeline from instantiating that class more than once. At the time I didn't realize that actually one...

I tend to use associative arrays quite a lot, to keep values as couples : the key, which is often unique, and a value, which may be anything else. This permits the handling of values by group : values from a MySQL row with their respective column name, liste of club members and their subscription date, a web URL and it's read date, a username...

In a world which is wired, standalone applications are becoming obsolete. The facilitators for the connectivity of applications, at a low level, are sockets. Any language, whether high-level or low-level, must provide APIs to handle sockets if its creators want it to be widely accepted.

Flexjson is a Java libary for serializing Java objects to JSON without the pain. It allows you to control what gets serialized through a simplified DSL like API. It's much easier to work with connected object models without forcing you to create lots of boiler plate code to translate your objects into JSON. It solves the circular reference...

There's one thing missing from Ruby: a standard way for parsing Ruby code ... _in Ruby_. There is no Ruby parser written in Ruby, and all the other Ruby parsers have very different outputs and are heavily implementation specific. Problem: this causes tons of Ruby code manipulation code written in languages like Java or C++... and not Ruby. This...
