Dart / Flutter

Why?

The fundamental reason we use Dart is simply that it is the language used to develop for Flutter. The reason we use Flutter is that it is a framework developed and supported by Google for

"building beautiful, natively compiled, multi-platform applications from a single codebase"

The Flutter platform provides Dart classes called Widgets that are used to describe elements that are rendered in the user interface. Beyond these, Dart is a statically typed language that is also used to write any other classes your application requires.

Testing

Why?

  • In order to test your code, your code must first be testable. If you write testable code from the beginning, you will be writing well-designed code or at least code that is more well designed than you would have otherwise written. If you are adding tests to an existing code base, you will be led by the hand into precisely the refactoring that code base needs. Testable code is, by virtue, loosely coupled code. Nearly all of the important design principles are geared towards keeping your code loosely coupled. If you only focused on making your tests easy to write and paid no attention to design principles at all, you will still have accomplished a pretty good design nearly by accident. The more loosely coupled your code is, the easier it is to change. The first virtue of good code is changeability, usability comes second. Code that is usable today but cannot be easily be changed may not be usable tomorrow and will only be made usable again with significant effort. Code that is easi

Design Principles

The resources below cover a lot of ground with regard to designing code that is easy to test and maintain in the first place, as well as how to refactor existing code to accomplish the same.

Good code design is a critical ingredient of a delivery pipeline with fast feedback loops. Fast feedback loops in turn enable us as developers to deliver stable software in a truly (not just in name) Agile team. When it is quick and easy to research, design, experiment, test, deliver, and repeat; development is exciting and rewarding and customers get the features they want and the fixes they need without delay.

By contrast, bad code design will eventually sabotage all efforts related to speed and stability until the technical debt accrued becomes so great that the entire project slows to a crawl. Releases will be less frequent, and what does get released will not be stable. Eventually, morale inside the team and confidence outside the team become damaged, and that's not a fun place to be.

Converts a newline delimited list of tab delimited multi-column values into the proper syntax for use in SQL VALUES statements. This can dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to create scripts that must insert a great many values. It is designed to be deployed monolithically so that it may be run locally using just this single file.

Converts a newline delimited list of values into properly formatted syntax for use in a series of SQL LIKE statements. This can dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to create scripts that must filter on a great many values. It is designed to be deployed monolithically so that it may be run locally using just this single file.

Converts a newline delimited list of values into properly quoted and comma delimited syntax for use in a SQL IN () statement. This can dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to create scripts that must filter on a great many values.
