Aug 27, 2011 - Site moved again

During the last days I moved the Tideland site back from Google Sites to my own server. The system behind it is MoinMoin, a wiki I've already used for other projects in the past. It's convenient, flexible and fast. E.g. it's been real simple to build a parser for the syntax highlighting of Go source code. This helps a lot.

I hope you like it.

Aug 18, 2011 - Next release of Redis Database Client

During the last two weeks I mainly worked on the next release of my TidelandRedisDatabaseClient. While the current one is powerful but generic the next release will get a more Redis specific API with many convenience methods. Also the generic way will stay, but the asynchronous command execution will be removed. Additionally the transaction handling will be changed, but to a more comfortable way. I'll soon write more about it.

Under the hood there'll be two changes too. First there's an issue regarding broken connections. They are currently handled very bad and lead to an error. Additionally I'll change the connection pooling to be more flexible with min and max boundaries instead.

Beside of the RDC I'll continue to write more articles in CodingInGo. During the last months of development I've detected more and more useful patterns for this language. The interaction of interfaces, channels and goroutines allows very flexible and powerful designs. I hope I'll be able to translate my German papers about stuff like RequirementsEngineering and SoftwareCostEstimation too, but that's a lot work. *sigh*
