Unfortunately, I’m also a fan of the iPhone, so I may have to get over it for the near term.

New terminology

May 10th, 2008 Uncategorized

Rocky Lhotka’s books introduced me to the idea of Binding Oriented Programming.  He never used the term (if I remember correctly something I read so many years ago), but he made a very eloquent & persuasive case for the practice.

This is an idea I’ve taught to several people at work in recent years.  That’s worked fairly well, but I suspect it will be even easier if I can point at some useful definitions & examples online.  So thank you, Paul Stovell, for giving a name to Binding Oriented Programming.

New Blog (version 4)

I have now moved all my old posts and set up a new WordPress blog. The old Drupal one ran into some trouble when my host upgraded PHP. This is possibly my fault for not keeping it updated. Even so, I already love the interface for WordPress. I have now removed all technical obstacles to blogging again!
