Beware Package Managers

by  on  in architecture, code • 0 Comments

It’s evident that package managers such as npm and nuget are an effective way for hackers to bypass some of the core elements of enterprise security defences. Compromised code can travel undetected through the firewall and passed the virus checker – straight from the internet to the device (e.g. the production server) – fully automated by the development platforms, and… Read more →

CQS & CQRS

by  on  in architecture, C#, code • 0 Comments

CQS means “Command-query separation”. It was introduced by Bertrand Meyer as part of his work on the Eiffel programming language. A method is either a command performing an action, or a query that returns data, but not both. Being purely action-performing methods, commands always have a void return type. Queries, on the other hand, should not have any observable side… Read more →

Updated Command & Query Handlers

by  on  in C#, code • 0 Comments

I’ve recently updated my definitions for Query Handlers. I’ve changed the original IQuery<Tresult> to IReturn<TResult> as, for me, it better reflects the intention of the [marker] interface. public interface ICommandHandler<TCommand> { void Execute(TCommand command); } public interface IReturn<TResult> { } public interface IQueryHandler<TQuery, TResult> where TQuery : IReturn<TResult> { TResult Execute(TQuery query); } Read more →
