Event Description

Design by Contract in a Visual FoxPro context!

AFUG is pleased to announce that Larry Rix will be making our January presentation.

You'll get to see what "Design by Contract" (DbC) is in the presentation. The most exciting part of DbC is NOT what it is, but what it will DO for you!! So, what will DbC do FOR you? By imploying DbC your code gets on-going, never-ending Design-time testing that is as spot-on and correct as YOU know how to make it. Not only does it remember your data type checking for TRUER, more consistent data typing, but -- more importantly -- you get a means to codify your business rules into your code in such a way that they are there forever (unless you remove them). Moreover, the very nature of how DbC works will capture problems with your code AT THE SOURCE and you'll avoid failures that cascade many levels up and down the call-stack before they show up as errors. DbC will give you a consistent tool for spot-checking and QA your code both in terms of technical processing checks and business rule adherance. In a nutshell -- DbC is like a steroid innouculation against not only technical errors, but violations of business and modelling rules -- all you have to know is the very SIMPLE rules of the DbC concept and HOW to apply those rules in a VFP context. Oh yeah -- one more thing -- you can apply DbC to your existing code WITHOUT FEAR of breaking it (except in a good way -- more on that at the meeting) and apply it immediately!!
