[Halla12_software] SoLID Software Meeting on Thursday at 2pm 03/19 Room-B101

[Thomas K Hemmick]

Hi guys

Last time there was a request for more info on Fun4All for our next chat.
Chris Pinkenburg (author of Fun4All) sent me these (old) slides that give a
little more detail.  I'll also give a presentation during our next meeting,
since these slides are a user-oriented presentation while our task is more
architect-oriented.

The one design feature implemented here that I would change is having the
so-called "topNode" is passed around from place-to-place as an argument.
In my opinion, singletons inherently don't need to pass arguments since you
can always wake up clueless, grab a pointer to the instance of the
singleton, and then learn ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING (not just the selected
info passed around via arguments).  Indeed, the current implementation of
Fun4All *does* have a function that returns the topNode and I encourage my
students as they write layers of code to *NOT* keep passing the pointer to
this node around to each level of their own code, but instead get the
topNode when & if they need it.

Overall that is a pretty short list of complaints (for me).

Enjoy!
Tom

PS--The slides are called Fun4Spin since Chris was presenting to the spin
working group.
