Techie cultural goodness

My Malmö buddy Isak blogs, too.

In the tracked-back post here, he tells about Martin Fowler‘s idea of post-modern programming.

Mr. Fowler is a computer book author, and he wrote Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code, a nice book.

It made me find a great list of “refactoring smells”, which is Fowler-speak for indications of need for refactoring. When you’ve read the book, the list is a good reminder. Refactoring.com was Fowler’s effort at spreading the gospel, but he did not have too much time to devote to it.

Mr. Fowler liked the sequel to Notes on Postmodern Programming, which was called “Notes on Notes on Postmodern Programming”, or NoNoPoMoPo. Funny, ha-ha. (Yes, now you too can read it, like everyone else with a PDF reader.)

And now that this linkfest continues, I shall add the essay “The New Methodology” (PDF) by Fowler, in his capacity of Chief Scientist at ThoughtWorks.
