Simple Question:
When a script/function/class exports something, I name it “exporter”.
When it imports something, I name it “importer”.
How do I name it when it does both?

What do you think? Write your thoughts into the comments please. Thanks!

After almost eight months of waiting, I am finally allowed to publish my thesis paper:

Design and Implementation of a Workflow Engine
This thesis discusses the design and implementation of a software component that faciliates the specification, management, and execution of so-called workflows. The discussion of this component's design includes the semantics and syntax of the underlying workflow model as well as the actual software design. The former builds upon the Workflow Patterns [BK03] terminology, the latter on the concepts of a Workflow Virtual Machine [SF04] and the idea that a workflow system should be comprised of loosely coupled components [DAM01, DG95, PM99].

As I mentioned in the Post Scriptum of an earlier post, JavaScript is not the only language that you can create CouchDB views with. You can now use PHP, too.

Here is how views work again: You specify a JavaScript function that receives a document parameter (which is a JSON object). You can do whatever to that object and return it again. Or you don’t return anything. When a new document is added to a CouchDB database, it gets passed to the JavaScript function and, depending on its return value, is included into the view that is associated with the function &endash; or not.

function(doc)
{
  if("Value" == doc.field) {
   return doc;
  }
}

This function adds the full document to the view when it has a field called field and when that has the value Value. This is just a refresher on how views work …

MySQL AB is a global company. The employees are spread around the globe. It is impressive to see that this works for a technology company, where high-bandwidth communication between its main players is crucial to their success.

Once in a while though, they need to meet in person. This year, all developers meet in Heidelberg, Germany for a week. They will have workshops, training and lots of get-togethers.

MySQL AB even invited a few community members to take part in the event for two days. I managed to sneak in there and I am looking forward to see a lot of the people I met in Santa Clara earlier this year and those I have not met, yet, but read a lot online. To top it all, Damien is there. Guess what we are going to talk about.

I promised to blog my hands off in exchange for the invitation, so expect some coverage …

Dear Future self,

The next time you run into PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method DB_Error::query() and you are pretty sure all the correct libraries are installed , check if you can connect to the database with the username / password you have configured. Just as today you might have migrated to a new mysql server and forgotten to update the connection string.

thank you for your attention.

I just sent this message to the brand new CouchDb mailinglist:

Dear Couch Potatoes (or something), I updated the CouchDb PHP Library and the Demo application BugShrink (our bug-tracker) to the new JSON API.

They are up in a separate Google Code Project. Check out the code at http://couchprojects.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ and the project pages at http://code.google.com/p/couchprojects/.

Enjoy, Jan
