Eric Bollens Nimble and Flexible Framework Design Part 3
Eric Bollens spoke on April 24, 2013 at Global Personals for LAPHP about Nimble and Flexible Framework Design.
Frameworks are often approached as an intricate black box that extends the native language system. Under this guise, developers are discouraged from trying to understand the internals, while they're expected to come in line with the framework's way of doing things. But it shouldn't have to be this way!
This talk will pull back the veil and discuss how one can build a loosely-coupled, highly-extensible framework that gives developers what they want, when they want it, and stays out of their way otherwise. This will be motivated by a real-world example where the all-encompassing framework model failed the speaker's firm, and it will then dive into patterns that restore freedom to developers through an alternate design methodology.
While this talk will center on framework design, many of the principles that will be discussed are broadly applicable and helpful in many other contexts.
