Hi, Geeks …See you again in my blog, in this session I would like to share about the exactly how to define the methodology for our development. I thought that these phase are become the part of a very basic designing the requirement which compulsory to initial our step. The architect and the team need to formulate the methodology based on the type of project, load project and also time line which is supposed to be discussed together with the project manager as a liaison person to the management area.I would like to walk straight ways to some little bit point which are become the main discussion in this session:

1.  I would like to explain and share the main core of each methodology that I’ve known as a practical person.
2. Then we need to perform the team development based on the methodology that we’ve already taken.
3. I would like to share as well about the probability of infrastructure that we need for accommodating your team development, in this case I am refer to use the Team Foundation server and Visual Studio Team Suite edition.

As we known before, there are many methodology for development, for instance we know about waterfall before, and then after water fall really “fall”  due to this methodology following the sequential phase method which couldn’t got adaptation to the fast changing and requirement which driven by deadline and timeline such as this diagram below :

So the conclusion of the legacy failure method of waterfall are :

• Waterfall method failed to deliver the application as intended to the customer in the time frame we predicted because all of the process is sequential but the deadline could move according to the key time line that customer defined, and remember one thing that “…your customer is your king …”
•  Because of the inability in us to deliver the application as the customer want then we felt like don’t have anything to ship to the hold the customer’s confidence.
• Reworking what we have may require ripping out some of what we’ve already built for instance when we are in the midst of project then suddenly there are some accidental requirement come from customer, let say 25 percent from the entire load project , but after we doing re-analyzing again then show 50 even more up to 75 percent of whole entire development supposed to be changed, oops..knock..knock…. your development team will kill you asap due to you will be charged as the most wasting time and energy in the world… J and every developer will hate you pale … 
•   Finally we haven’t driven the risk out of the project because integration is not complete yet  and the time line will always move into the left side. and  then raise new methodology based on the collaboration team with roles activities and involve the customer as the part of whole interaction role, method such as RUP (Rational Unified Process) , Agile Methodology, Agile for CMII  (continuity methodology for Capability mature process)and then for short development is Agile Extreme Programming, in the other side there is a Scum methodology which based on product back log requirement designing, administering by scrum master  and the sprint task as the iteration development methodology.Okay, it’s time to keen our discussion about those method above, first we should to know the essential of each method  :

Currently the  Collaboration team methodology has many elements which refer to agile manifesto (www.agilemanifesto.org), it was a synthesis of common beliefs that underlie the various method whether contain such elements like this :

• Individuals and interactions over process and tools (TDD, Source control and work item traceability)
• Working software over comprehensive documentation (process guidance)
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation (Timeline management and resources )
• Responding to change over following plan (Iteration process drive the project goal ) 

So, The modern tools of team collaboration development will refer to the Agile Manifesto principle, in next session i will describe one by one of each methodology of SDLC refer to Agile Manifesto.

Folks,

Session object in Web Application is very important things for transferring variable or even doing some caching, as we known before in ASPNET there are a view mechanism to implement this caching object, one way approach is using the SQL server session wheter this way is eat the peformance of the retrieving the session object coz the system need to go round trips during the process, okay let’s forget it about using SQL Server session object in stead of we implement the session that we stored in Dictionary Collection which encapsulated in the class, the second things is using the cache object whether the system could save the system in web server memory by implement the cache and put it the span time to arrange the life cycle of the caching. Those action should be done coz the cache has a unlimited time life cycle in the web server memory, until  we destroy the cache by manually.

Hi Folks,

See me again, just like my last posted before, i promise to you to share about the xml serialization transfer object.

I have a case that i should transfer the data inside in the xml from another platform such as SAP application but unfortunately ,the xml file that i’d received is not equipped by the schema or even the diffgram, my consideration doing the xml transfer data is QoS ( Quality of Service ), this is the unfuncionality area that i should focus because has a relation to the application performance, well, i don’t want to use the object dataset as much like the developer way to approach the transfer between the wire by using  return object dataset, coz it’s very heavy and reduce the performance a lot, so i must find out how to serialize the xml file into object class,and then i am using my old method to rectify the solution and here is my old method :

Hi Folks,

I would like to share about my current project which is talking about integrated file data transfer from XML , whether there is a case that i need the SAP application transfer the XML data into my application, then i solve with creating the XML Web Service whether i cater the function to deserialize the XML file into Object Generic List, whether after i i have finish deserialize the XML then i put into an my class object then added into my generic array list.

In the other side my application just refer to the web service reference that i’ve been created before and accept the return value in object array.

after that i’m just happy with my array object later, i’ll share the simple sample deserialization code in the case later.

Thanks,

Interviewers: Scott Swigart and Sean Campbell.

Interviewees:Blaine Wastell and Glenn Block.

In this interview with Blaine Wastell and Glenn Block of the Patterns and Practices Group at Microsoft we asked them about:

• About the Patterns and Practices Group
• What makes them different from a typical product development group
• The software development methodology they use
• Some of the things that Patterns and Practices group has produced for developers.
• The role of CodePlex for their group.

Blaine:   I’m Blaine Wastell. I’m a program manager in patterns & practices, and I’ve been in this role for a little over four years now. Most recently my focus has been in what we call the “client UX program”. It’s about providing guidance to customers on developing both smart client and web client applications.

For 12 years before Microsoft I was out in the consulting world helping business customers develop enterprise line of business applications, mainly Web applications.
