Introduction to Aspect-Oriented Programming

June 16th, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

Like I did for Functional Programming, this post contains the mindmap that covers the basic elements of Aspect-Oriented Programming.
This is just a tiny summary of the most important points of AOP, and uses AspectJ in the examples.

Topics covered:

  • Definition
  • Response to Object-Oriented crosscutting concerns
  • Aspects
  • Advices
  • Inter-Type Declarations
  • Join Point Model: Join Points, Pointcuts, Advices
  • AspectJ tiny example

You can reach a browsable HTML export of the mindmap
You can download a PNG export of the MindMap.
You can download Freemind sources of the MindMap

Introduction to Functional Programming

June 16th, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

For the Programming Paradigms course we had to study the concepts of Functional Programming.

So here is my usual mindmap regarding the topic. This is just a summary of the most important concepts of functional programming. It also summarizes the very well-written Functional Programming for the Rest of us publication, and uses its pseudo-Java language.

Topics covered:

  • Definition
  • Basic Units
  • Symbols
  • Concurrency
  • Higher Order Functions
  • Functional Programming and Design Patterns
  • Currying
  • Lazy Evaluation
  • Abstract Control Structures
  • Infinite Data Structures
  • Continuations
  • Pattern Matching

You can download a PNG export of the mindmap.
You can download FreeMind sources of the mindmap.

Some little updates

June 12th, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

I am so busy in these days. Today I was sick to study Mathematical Method For Physics, so I took the time to fix some pages of the blog.

First of all, I finally created a page for the Unipoli project to our Programming Project Java opensource Monopoli game. Give it a try, it’s funny and free! You can obviously download the binaries and the code, as well as all the documents we wrote during analysis and design phases. You can even download or browse the Javadocs! Here is a screenshot:

Unipoli - Board Overview

Then I also updated my CV that unfortunately remains in Italian. I am a bit confused about which language to use  everytime I write something, sorry!

What is taking me busy – Pomotux!

May 12th, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

I’m currently pressed by my University life, that’s because I don’t post often.
There are 3 big projects for this semester: a C compiler, a dynamic website using Java Servlets and JSP and the most interesting one: a C++ program for Software Engineering Project course.
I’m working with other two collegues on a task manager for people using the Pomodoro Technique by Francesco Cirillo.
The project is called Pomotux and is under development following strong software engineering methodologies (Scrum@Xp). Pomotux is under construction since 2 months and uses technologies such as SQLite to store and play with tasks. The interesting fact regarding our data structure choice is that we are also using a framework for obtaining ORM, called LiteSQL.

LiteSQL is a C++ library that integrates C++ objects tightly to relational database and thus provides an object persistence layer

LiteSQL is still young and immature but powerful enough for our scope. We are also happy to provide feedback to their developers, that are ready to help us. They even wrote a patch for us!
Pomotux is reaching an unexpected stability. Unexpected because it is written by 3 young people that come from a light Java experience and saw C++ 3 months ago. It works under Linux and its graphical interface uses QT 4.5.0. It should work on any *NIX variant that meets dependencies, but also under Windows with some light modifications.
It will support just the basic features of the technique (unfortunately we don’t have the time to fully work on it) but it’s ready for expansions such as team support and statistics.
We will be happy to release the sources as soon as we finish the course, hoping that people will find it useful and that some serious programmers take it and make it the perfect tool for Pomodorians :) I will also contact the author of the Pomodoro Technique when we release it.

Introduction to HTTP mind-map

March 1st, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

As I promised about 4 hours ago, here is my introduction to Hyper Text Transfer Protocol in form of a mind map.
It is to be intended as a really short introduction to this protocol. Like the previous one about computer networks, the mindmap summarizes materials copyrighted by Tanenbaum and also material taken from Wikipedia.

The topics covered are:

  • Scope of the protocol
  • HTTP connection
    • HTTP/1.0
    • HTTP/1.1
  • HTTP request methods:
    • GET
    • HEAD
    • PUT
    • POST
    • DELETE
    • TRACE
    • CONNECT
    • OPTIONS
  • Message Headers
    • Request Headers – all
    • Response Headers – all
  • Status Codes:
    • 1xx Information
    • 2xx Success
    • 3xx Redirection
    • 4xx Client error
    • 5xx Server Error
  • Sessions:
    • Cookies
    • Server-Side sessions
  • Secure HTTP – HTTPS:
    • By URI scheme
    • HTTP Upgrade Header
    • SSL/TLS

Introduction to Network Organization mind-map

February 28th, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

For Internet Technologies and Distributed Systems courses we have to study some basics about network organization and architecture. The most interesting book on the topic is the one written by Tanenbaum (Computer Networks ). I have to study the parts about network organization and HTTP. For my studies I sometimes make use of mindmaps, so here I provide my mindmap that summarizes an introduction about network organization.

The topics covered are:

  • Layers (or levels):
    • Advantages
    • Services
    • Quality
    • Primitives
  • Protocols
  • Models:
    • OSI ISO
    • TCP/IP

Please note that the mindmap summarizes materials copyrighted by Tanenbaum and also material taken from Wikipedia.
