Comment on Testing PURE javascript templates from RSpec by Jorge Manrubia

Hi Mic,

Thanks for the feedback, and for creating PURE. I love its approach for rendering json data and it also has an amazing performance. By the way, Beebole seems very nice!

Hi Jorge,

PURE is actively maintained as it is the exclusive HTML renderer of our web app.

Have a look at http://beebole.com , the “live demo” is the real app (since last week!!). I think it is a good showcase of the speed PURE can offer to a web app based on the data/server + rich/client concept you describe here.

¡Muchas gracias por usar PURE y escribir ese post! Saludos,

Jorge: The following script, without using the external code file, shows the ‘problem’ more succinctly:

//file: SayExperiment.groovy
def say(message){
println message
}

def shell = new GroovyShell()
def code = "say hello"
shell.evaluate(code)

Anyway, I used your technique in a recent post “Groovy Object Notation (GrON) for Data Interchange” at http://wp.me/psHIY-6g

Comment on I have read… ‘The Inmates Are Running the Asylum’ by jorge

It is nice to see that Lotus has a design team that intends to improve its user experience. I am using the version 8 at work so I am afraid we are quite updated. In my opinion the product would need a total redesign from bottom-up. I mean, it would need to be another product. And I suppose that doing that is very difficult considering its current user base.

Thank you very much for your feedback and for the info!!

Just one point on the Notes bit. Searching for “notes sucks” type websites the results returned range from 2005-2007. Latest releases are 2009/2010. So the UI has changed a lot.

I’d recommend reading Mary Beth Ravens blog if your interested in UI/Design in relation to Notes/Sametime.

Comment on The role of models in Agile and Model Driven Development approaches by Mike Jones

Mike Jones — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:02:42 +0000

Models cannot be converted into code easily? I have to disagree with this statement. If you have been a developer for more than, say 12 years, you will undoubtedly remember the days of CASE tools. Several of these products did an excellent job of generating code from models. The problem was that the models were developed using a waterfall approach (Information Engineering was the most common method) which ended not accurately representing the business need. And since we spent all the time up front modeling to get it ‘right’ we did not show the end users a working solution until everything was done. The end result, applications that did not meet end user expectations, were late and cost more than estimated.

In my experience Agile directly addresses the issue of an inability to accurately specify exactly what the business needs as a requirement. Why? Until the end users see the working application they cannot accurately imagine how it will support their process and how they might modify their working process to accommodate automation. Thus Agile’s iterative approach allows us to deliver early and often taking into account feedback from the end user community as we go resulting in fit for purpose applications that only deliver the needed functionality to meet business needs! Of course if we manage the project, its backlog and work with the business to trade high value needs for lower value items we end up delivering on time and in budget!

To learn more about the approach we use go read our methodology white paper titled ‘Eight stages of an Agile approach that works’. You can find it at this link under white papers: http://tinyurl.com/dmnf8w.
