[Moose-dev] Re: Book, Working Effectively with Legacy Code

Hi Ben, Chapter 16 "I Don´t Understand the Code Well Enough to Change It". Michael C. Feathers proposes sketching to understand the code better. Moose allows it to automatize and improve this manual work. But before a sketch can be drawn the code has to be analyzed. And a sketch has to be adapted if the code changes. Moose allows to automatize this. You can generate diagrams automatically. My impression is, that I still needed an application on top of Moose to make smaller diagrams that describe a certain aspect of a coding. I needed some way to limit the number of elements displayed, specify their positions and add comments to them. I do this currently in a Smalltalk application I developed on top of Moose and Roassal. It is NOT only for SAP applications as might seem. The Github Repository that links to the Smalltalkhub page: https://github.com/RainerWinkler/Moose-Diagram I made a short video to show I am currently using Moose and this application to work with this kind of sketches. Even though it is an early version, I use it near to every day in my projects: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B0BTdgDL6XSLeHB4aTZxTkdSNXc Cheers, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----Original-Nachricht----- Von: "Ben Coman" &lt;btc(a)openinworld.com <mailto:btc@openinworld.com>> An: "Moose-related development" &lt;moose-dev(a)list.inf.unibe.ch <mailto:moose-dev@list.inf.unibe.ch>> Datum: 02/14/17 13:16 Betreff: [Moose-dev] Book, Working Effectively with Legacy Code Interesting to see this is the top mentioned book on stackoverflow. I wonder if Moose can facilitate any of its contained topics and maybe leverage its popularity. </randomThoughForTheDay> cheers -ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Moose-dev mailing list Moose-dev(a)list.inf.unibe.ch <mailto:Moose-dev@list.inf.unibe.ch> https://www.list.inf.unibe.ch/listinfo/moose-dev _______________________________________________ Moose-dev mailing list Moose-dev(a)list.inf.unibe.ch https://www.list.inf.unibe.ch/listinfo/moose-dev
