New Week Who Dis (Week 1)

Going on each week I'm going to try and make some goals and I can write about what I learned. 

I think there's an opportunity for an interview for a job, so I'm going to focus on some stuff that will help me with that.

First thing I want to do is to review the projects that I've worked on and be able to talk about what I learned from them and how they contributed to my career.

Second I want to investigate core .NET concepts, some common patterns for web services, and the differences between .NET framework and .NET core.

With the rest of the time, I want to review YouTube videos that I've watched and pull down the concepts and issues and begin creating a schedule of topics that I can go more in depth to in later weeks.

Uncle Bob's Clean Architecture

Image
The basis of my current understanding of architecture comes from the brilliant mind of Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob). You can find the original post through his blog , which I strongly encourage you to read. In this post I'll try to summarize some of the key points I've understood from his post. Clean Architecture Source Clean architecture is a design used to emphasize the structure and relation of your various code components to promote the idea of Dependency Rule , such that "source code dependencies only point inwards" . Clean architecture is able to promote this by defining that your software system consists of various layers , that can be organized in such a way that the layers point in one direction, and a dependency graph will not have circular reference. The reason this is important is because it allows you to keep closely code related, and increase clarity of how components fit into your system. Explaining the Layers We can really separate out this ...

C4 Model: Describing Software Architecture

Image
The point behind a presentation of Visualizing Software Architecture , by Simon Brown, was that we need to standardize the way software developers communicate with each other in respect to our discussions of software architecture. As part of Simon's consultation, one exercise he gave to software architects was a simple task to white board the architecture of a software system. The results he received varied immensely, and there was never a defacto standard format that he received from this exercise. When inspecting the feedback from the participants, the general answer was that it was easy to come up with the design, but difficult to properly put their ideas onto paper, or white board in this case. White Board Example, c4model.com Simon sought to start a movement by defining a set of organizational rules to help us describe our software architecture with a set of standard terminologies. His work has let to C4 Model , which stands for C ontext, C ontainers, C omponents,...

Running RabbitMQ with Docker

Image
Short post today, mostly just wanted to how to setup RabbitMQ for local development. Refer back to my previous post to learn more about RabbitMQ. Prerequisite Docker For complete guide reference, check out the Docker Hub Website for RabbitMQ . Why use Docker? Before starting my current job at iHerb, I would go straight for the Windows installation (my development environment) for all of my development tools needs. It was straight forward and "just worked" a lot of the time. What I've begun to realize experimenting with all these different tooling and services is that things can get a bit cluttered, you will have a bunch of supporting systems that need to be run - caches, queues, databases and it can be a hassle to manage them through window services and executables. Additionally some of these require additional dependencies outside of the executable itself, which prompts you to install even more tooling. The great thing about docker is that it defi...
