February book review: Domain Driven Design

Eric Evans
Domain Driven Design

I met Eric Evans in August of 2004, when his book had just came out and he was in Twin Cities at the Object Technology User Group (OTUG) talking about Ubiquitous Language, a language used by all team members to describe the domain model. I was very impressed with Eric's presentation. In very simple terms, he was able to find and explain the essence of what is often missing in domain implementations focused too much on technology.

You will not be disappointed with Eric's book. It describes patterns on how to explore a complex business domain and express it with a comprehensible software model. These patterns help me focus on central business problems while keeping the overall design of the systems understandable and manageable.

This is a must-read book for a business application designer and developer. Happy reading!

Is it possible to load an swf movie in FireFox without a page refresh?

We are building an Ajax web application, where a user could click on a link to play a flash swf file. In its simplest form, a web page consists of a set of links and a <div/> container where flash videos are played. The important requirement is to avoid a page refresh after the user makes her/his selection.

In IE, this is achieved by setting the movie property of the flash <object/> element. For the same purpose in FireFox, you have the src property of the <embed/> element and the data property of the flash <object/> element. However, they do not seem to do the trick...

Do you have any ideas why? Thank you in advance for your help.
