 John Reynolds's BlogApril 2008 ArchivesThe 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.... | |
