Repositories or Command/Query Objects? What about CQRS? Unit of Work?

From time to time, when I learn something new or want to try out a new approach, I restart my "Record Collector" a project. It is a project I use for testing out ideas, and never gets close to a usable product.

This time I wanted to try out creating components and setting up the relationship between them using inspiration from Clean Architecture. The Record Collector application keeps track of different records, and needs some sort of record repository.

For my simple application is it enough to just have an in-memory list. But I got curious I wanted to see how larger applications, maybe targeting thousands of simultaneous users, tackles this.

What I found was the Repository Pattern and CQRS.

Here is some resources for any of you who wants to know how repositories or command/query objects can be implemented in large scale applications:

Codility tasks - Part I

I was recently faced with two codility tasks when applying for a job as an Embedded Software Engineer. For those of you who arn't familiar with Codility you can check out their website here:  www.codility.com Task one - Dominator The first task was called Dominator. The goal was to, given a std::vector of integers, find an integer that occurs in more than half of the positions in the vector. If no dominator was found -1 should be returned. My approach was to loop through the vector from the first to the last element, using a std::map to count the number of occurences of each integer. If the count ever reached above half the size of the vector I stopped and returned that integer and if I reached the end without finding a dominator I returned -1. So was that a good approach? Well, the reviewer at the company rated the solution as 'pretty ok'. His preferred solution was store the first integer in the array and set a counter to 1. Then loop through the remaining i

C# Enum as bit field

Bit field enum Whenever you wish to express combinations of properties of an object, bit fields are a good way to accomplish this. As a simple example, consider a file in the file system. It can be Readable , Writable , Hidden or a combination these. The different attributes can be defined as an enum : [Flags] public enum FileAttribute {   None      = 0b0000;   Readable  = 0b0001;   Writeable = 0b0010;   Hidden    = 0b0100; } To indicate that this enum is expected to be used as a bit field I have defined it with the FlagsAttribute . It is important to understand that the FlagsAttribute does nothing more than making some changes to how the ToString method of the enum works, making it possible to print out all flags. It does not introduce any validation or special treatment of the enum in any other way. I have defined the values of the different fields of the enum using binary representation, this should make it even more clear that this is a bit field and which bi
