The Unit Of Work Pattern And Persistence Ignorance. Patterns in Practice The Unit Of Work Pattern And Persistence Ignorance Jeremy Miller In the April 2009 issue of MSDN Magazine ("Persistence Patterns") I presented some common patterns that you will encounter when using some sort of Object/Relational Mapping (O/RM) technology to persist business entity objects. I think it's unlikely that you or your team will be writing your own O/RM tooling from scratch, but these patterns are important to know to effectively use (or even just to choose) existing tooling. In this article, I would like to continue the discussion of persistence patterns with the Unit of Work design pattern and examine the issues around persistence ignorance. The Unit of Work Pattern One of the most common design patterns in enterprise software development is the Unit of Work. The Unit of Work pattern isn't necessarily something that you will explicitly build yourself, but the pattern shows up in almost every persistence tool that I'm aware of.

Manage transactions. Design Patterns. Core J2EE Patterns. SOLID (object-oriented design) In computer programming, SOLID (Single responsibility, Open-closed, Liskov substitution, Interface segregation and Dependency inversion) is a mnemonic acronym introduced by Michael Feathers for the "first five principles" named by Robert C. Martin[1][2] in the early 2000s[3] that stands for five basic principles of object-oriented programming and design. The principles when applied together intend to make it more likely that a programmer will create a system that is easy to maintain and extend over time.[3] The principles of SOLID are guidelines that can be applied while working on software to remove code smells by causing the programmer to refactor the software's source code until it is both legible and extensible.

It is part of an overall strategy of agile and adaptive programming.[3] Www.objectmentor.com/resources/articles/Principles_and_Patterns.pdf. ArticleS.UncleBob.PrinciplesOfOod. The Principles of OOD What is object oriented design? What is it all about? What are it's benefits? What are it's costs? It may seem silly to ask these questions in a day and age when virtually every software developer is using an object oriented language of some kind. Yet the question is important because, it seems to me, that most of us use those languages without knowing why, and without knowing how to get the the most benefit out of them. Of all the revolutions that have occurred in our industry, two have been so successful that they have permeated our mentality to the extent that we take them for granted. Programs written in these languages may look structured and object oriented, but looks can be decieving. In March of 1995, in comp.object, I wrote an article that was the first glimmer of a set of principles for OOD that I have written about many times since.

These principles expose the dependency management aspects of OOD as opposed to the conceptualization and modeling aspects. Clean Coders.
