Using Object Oriented Programming For Custom Programming In A SaaS Application
Tue, 2009-04-21 06:20 — Scott AugeIn the SaaS world, often customers will want their own customizations into the source code specific to how they want to do business with your software.
Here is a point where object oriented programming stands out. By crafting your programming in such a way that basic functionality is enhanced - you can use different classes specific to particular customers for enhanced implementation.
Since we are going to potentially be using one of multiple classes, we need to have an interface describing the methods available in the class.

Include Unit Code at the bottom of your class files
Wed, 2009-02-04 05:32 — Scott AugeOne of the important things in software development is to do unit testing - that is a set of tests the programmer can do on a piece of code to be assured it is most likely working the way one wants it to.
Surprisingly it is rare to find unit test code as part of a source code file. If it is created at all (horror), it is usually tucked away on some developers disk someplace or simply thrown away!
What I have found helpful for myself as well as others working the same code, is to place a comment at the end of the program with the unit test code.
