Disentangling .NET Namespaces
If architectural drift is addressed before monolithic code tangles have formed, the higher-level components can be disentangled by relatively low cost/risk relocation of classes between components. Otherwise more invasive class-level surgery is needed – this is possible with Restructure101, but … Read More

Introducing Levelized Structure Maps (LSM)
Levelized Structure Maps (LSM) are a new, intuitive way to visualize and manipulate software systems. Using LSM, large-scale refactoring to remove dependency tangles and other over-complexity, becomes second nature. LSM are the core of Restructure101. Items in the LSM are levelized … Read More … Read More

Structure101 Headless
An often overlooked extension to Structure101 is the “Headless” mode of operation. This lets you hook Structure101 into your nightly build so that it checks for things like newly introduced complexity or architectural rules being violated while you sleep. You … Read More
Mapping Architecture Diagrams to Code – the “most specific pattern” rule
Architecture Diagrams in Structure101 are mapped to the physical code by patterns associated with each cell in the diagram. This enables the visual specification of rules that can then be applied to a specific version of your code so that … Read More
Go Google
“Go” is a new systems programming language created by Google. Syntax is based on C++, and it compiles (like greased lightning apparently) – even has a Printf()! But beyond trivial similarities it is a very different beast: Interfaces replace class … Read More
