The Ning Playground is a language-neutral sandbox/run-time for creating and running social networks and applications. Today, applications on Ning are created in PHP and Javascript, using our PHP and Javascript APIs. In the future, this architecture can be
The Second Life Hypermedia is a self-generated conversation about the world of Second Life, its possibilities and its flaws. It's a compilation of texts written by students at the School of Architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm,
I'm a big believer in Information Architecture as a community of practice, and I also believe it's good for such a community to have a "home base," especially if they're a virtual organization spread all over the globe like ours.
"Not many sites can take you from the Design Council to Design Addict, from the Rural Studio to Worldstudio, and have it all make sense. Nate Burgos’s ever-evolving webliography is a smart portal to the ever-expanding universe of design"
Stylebase for Eclipse is an open source tooling environment for software architects and designers. Stylebase is a reuse repository for architectural models and design patterns and it assists in applying quality-driven architecture design into software engineering. The tools are extensions to Eclipse, the most widely-used open source integrated development environment. We believe that Stylebase for Eclipse helps to improve the quality of software products and also increases reuse and information sharing in local and distributed development teams.
Auf Basis eines PDFs von einem 11 stöckigen realen Gebäude - über den Zwischenschritt eines XML-basierten SVGs (Scalable Vector Graphics) und PHP Script - wurde es möglich, dass sich dieses Gebäude in Second Life quasi selbst herstellt.
Consider an [arbitrary] piece of code. It's indoors, it's well behaved, and you can be proud of it. What is it about that code that you like? Is it elegant? Is it clever? Does it enable something? How would you measure the value of code?
A pattern language: towns, buildings, construction. This page holds an online description (abstracts) of hopefully all patterns of Christopher Alexanders Pattern Language.

One of the most important architectural decisions a Java developer can make is how to use the Java exception model. Java exceptions have been the subject of considerable debate in the community. Some have argued that checked exceptions in the Java languag
openArchitectureWare (oAW) is a modular MDA/MDD generator framework implemented in Java(TM). It supports parsing of arbitrary models, and a language family to check and transform models as well as generate code based on them. Supporting editors are based on the Eclipse platform. OAW has strong support for EMF (Eclipse Modelling Framework) based models but can work with other models, too (e.g. UML2, XML or simple JavaBeans) At the core there is a workflow engine allowing the definition of generator/transformation workflows. A number of prebuilt workflow components can be used for reading and instantiating models, checking them for constraint violations, transforming them into other models and then finally, for generating code.
The most complicated aspect of large software projects is not the implementation, it is the real world domain that the software serves. Domain Driven Design is a vision and approach for dealing with highly complex domains that is based on making the domai
The Semantic Web is an evolving collection of knowledge, built to allow anyone on the Internet to add what they know and find answers to their questions. Information on the Semantic web, rather than being in natural language text, is maintained in a struc
