As InfoQ reported this summer, there is an increasing interest in OSGi and its related projects. I have created a table summarizing the status of OSGi in the field of Open Source community. Starting from available open source container, I searched about projects exploiting OSGi and their level […]
n this article I’ll explain how many benefits can be obtained using a component oriented approach for software development adopting the OSGi model as the enabling component model.
A lot of team practices from the software engineering community can be used to reduce and to ease software development. There is another set of practices that lies […]
In the last post I wrote that “Design principles are quite generic and abstract that rarely help concretely a developer during the process of software design”. In this post I report a list of Software Design principles that I have mined from several books, papers.

There is a sounding question that I started investigating many years ago. The question is: “How to design software?“. The hard side of this question is that software design and in general software development is fundamentally hard.
As Fred Brooks suggests in his book is: “Complexity of software is an essential property, not an accidental one“. […]
