There's your one word reply. Don't let your computer science degree hit you on the way out.

F*** offf you retard...Dont you dare say anything about computing degree.
GOT IT...Its more than a life to me. Bye now AND DO NOT REPLY BACK EVER....

A computer science degree wanna-be just got trolled. 
If it's more than a life to you, then why can't you find the answer?

It's all right - we just need to mark her later posts as abuse. She got really personal with you, and that annoyed the pips off me.

Yep. In any case, there was no harm done--at least I got to prod her until she just gave up

Please check the answer you LOOSERS.
What are you guys doing in a software company. You should work in a petrol station. You don't even know how to communicate with ladies.
A real bad experience with this code project i had. Definitely it's full of loners. Get a life you all. You need to go out and see the world. Stop being on Code Project all the time and doing nothing....
I made a humble request but you all are getting onto my nerves now. Seriously telling you all do not come in front of me ever because my first reaction would be a tight slap on your face.
Good Bye Code Project and stupid loners.

Who is looser ? Do you mean losers ?

I'm sorry, are you saying that you expect to be treated, not as a developer, but in some special way based on your alleged sex ?
Julia4u wrote: You need to go out and see the world. Stop being on Code Project all the time and doing nothing....
But then who would answer the questions of clueless so called developers ?

Perhaps some of us would like that, you never know.

I have seen the light!!! I am going working in a petrol station and making loads of freinds!!! See you all later :-P
At university studying Software Engineering - if i say this line to girls i find they won't talk to me

Its a myth. I've worked a petrol station, I had the same friends after I worked there that I had before... but I did get some interesting stories.... Like the lady who didn't know how to fill up her own car, didn't even know which side to fill up with gas, and was surprised to know where she was... because she forgot her passport and didn't think they would let her across the border. I assured her that the trade agreement between New Mexico and Arizona would allow her to travel to her destination without a passport. And when she returned Texas would probably let her back through, but to prepare her story just in case....

You don't even know how to act like one.

How would you know this unless you're on Code Project and doing nothing by simply watching them?

Yeah, all the real ladies I know get violent at a moment's notice.  Oh wait, there is that other type too that does get violent quickly... I call them bitches.

That's very lady-like of you.

I'm on a project where I'm designing an extremely graphical and highly interactive application that interfaces with legacy applications. Right now I'm putting together a detailed design document for other developers to review.
I got into a discussion with other developers where I asserted some statements that, on the surface, don't make too much sense, but I still think are true. Specifically, "Although we agree that good design might be necessary for good code to be produced, good code is necessary for good design to be produced as well".
In other words, you can write up a design that looks good on paper and matches all the requirements, but until you've physically coded this design (or something very similar to this design), it's hard to say for sure that the design was really all that good.
As smart as we might be, the cold reality is that no one is smart enough to make an initial design up front for a complex application until they've actually built something similar to verify that the design was, indeed, a good design. Just about any design can look good on paper to an entire review committee, but only designs that are based off past successful implementations of similar ideas can really be confidently considered "good".
Has anyone else ever been forced to come to this conclusion before?

Yup. Part of the biggest challenges when designing an application is being flexible and open to the fact that the code phase will result in your design being revisited and updated. Anybody who thinks that the design is finished before the code is doesn't really understand the dynamics of a software project. Effectively you can view this design phase as:
Design what you want it to be
Code it to be what it is
Update the design to say what it is
Or to put it another way - the simple fact of coding an application will throw up issues that the designer just didn't think of which will result in the design being updated.
As a final thought - you've done your design. You've done your development and now you're ready to show it to the client (assuming you haven't developed it using RAD). They come in, love the product but want one or two "minor" changes - the design will change. So don't think you've finished with the design.

That's happened to me in nearly every project that I've worked on, and so far, the only consistent design principle that seems to make the most sense is to keep it simple. Good design comes from continuous refactoring, and by the end of a project, a lot of my designs tend to be emergent rather than something intentional. More often than not, I usually prototype my ideas using standard structured programming techniques (without using any OOP mechanics, such as inheritance).
At first, the idea starts of as a very long and ugly static method in a single class, and then I usually use Fowler's classic Refactoring techniques to cut the size of the method down until it's broken down into static methods. At that point, it's still fairly useless since my code is still written to work with a particular prototype case, so the next thing I do is I refactor the static methods into interface dependencies and move the static implementations over to classes that serve as default implementations of those particular interfaces. The idea is to take the most straightforward approach to writing an application, and then refactor and generalize it so that you can extend it. TDD takes the same approach with its "test first" mantra, and this style of development has yet to fail me. (BTW if you want to look at some samples of my design work, click here.[^])
Now that I think about it, writing good code and having good design principles is like trying to sculpt a melting ice block in the middle of the desert. If you spend too much time thinking about what the design should look like, you'll end up with nothing but a puddle of water. If, on the other hand, you know exactly what you need to chip away in order for the ice sculpture to take shape, then all you have to do is constantly reshape it until the sculpture emerges from the ice block, and hopefully you can get it done before the ice melts...

I've been going around in circles trying to design a new toolkit to create a certain kind of application with. What I think I'm realizing is that it's sometimes best to design classes in such a way so that they make the fewest assumptions about the environment in which they will be used.
What this means from a design standpoint is that when designing a class to represent a specific concept, you do so in isolation; you make the class as cohesive as possible as a standalone entity.
So where do you go once you have your finely crafted class? How do you integrate it into a context in which you are working?
I think the adapter design pattern is the answer. Adapt the class so that it's interface is fitted to the rest of the application.
This is a kind of bottom-up approach. And it may not seem sensible at first. But I have repeatedly found myself getting entangled in too many details when I try to consider the overall picture when designing a specific class. I'm having better luck designing classes so that they make sense on their own without any scafolding to support them. I leave the other details for later.
