 John Reynolds's Blog
The Next Generation In Workflow?Posted by johnreynolds on April 22, 2008 at 07:34 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)Tom Baeyens, of JBoss jBPM fame, published a great overview of BPM's past and possible future in his article: Process Component Models: The Next Generation In Workflow ? over at InfoQ. Check it out! Object Only Programming (and Modelling) Considered SillyPosted by johnreynolds on April 18, 2008 at 01:30 AM | Permalink | Comments (9)Every so often I come across a blog entry that makes my own attempts to put my thoughts in writing seem pathetically inadequate. Stevey's Blog Rant: Execution in the Kingdom of Nouns is one such entry. Stevey's position is that Object Only Languages are silly... at least that's how I sum up his blog. I couldn't agree more, and I couldn't have said it better... I've tried several times: My first attempt to express my concerns about "Objects Only" was back in in November of 2003: UML and Process Definition for Java - JSR 207. Looking back, I realize that I should have just said "Object Only Modelling is a dumb idea". For the record... "Process Only Modelling" is also a dumb idea. To borrow Stevey's metaphor, a Kingdom of Verbs is just as silly as a Kingdom of Nouns. Let's all move to the Kingdom of Sentences :-) (cross-posted at Thoughtful Programmer) Net Beans (6.1) Page FlowsPosted by johnreynolds on April 14, 2008 at 11:19 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)NetBeans (6.1) Page Flows may be a small step towards Model Driven development: Read more here. Iterative DevelopmentPosted by johnreynolds on April 10, 2008 at 03:43 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)I've had a surprisingly difficult time conveying my own definition of "Iterative Development" in the context of BPM development. If you are interested in such things, please take a look at my other blog for an explanation via analogy....  |

John Reynolds is an Austin (as in Texas) based programmer who has been professionally developing software since 1980. His primary focus has been on software usability and usefulness, dating back to his involvement with Tandy's DeskMate graphical environment in the late 80's. Java is his current language of choice, superceding a long relationship with C++ and an early affair with the irrepressible FORTH.
