BEGIN

I use this site to share my strategy for developing applications or components related to my current interests. Authentication, Authorization, Domain Driven Design, JRuby, Java, Integration, Raspberry Pi and Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Apache Camel, Middleware, Queueing, and Open Source are some of the topics I am personally invested in learning more about.

Recently I've been working through issues related to using Domain Driven Design with Rails. The legacy application under consideration was built using the SknStragey, which I would like to upgrade to include more DDD factors.

SknServices is the application I'd like to share as an example for others. SknServices is a public demonstration application which will be reflective of the methods and strategy used in my corporate application.

SknBase is runtime for SknServices. Where SknService provides Admin features, SknBase will represent an administration target or typical user. Here I'm exploring Roda, Dry-Rb, and Rom-DB as an alternative to Rails Web Development.

Github Repositories with bits of the things that are of interest to me.

GFHCM is a collection of GTK/GLIB programs that can be used to log and display information about the current status of the Stanford University Folding@home Project's Linux client program on local and remote machines, and the contributions of both your individual id and all teams you are associated with.

I will be posting new articles that go in depth on SknStrategy, here!, as soon as I decide on the markup and tooling!
