Re: [OT] Multiple questions in an email
People don't read more than the first 2 lines of emails. For example I stopped reading after I'll generalise :) Regards Arjang On 26 February 2010 08:41, David Richards ausdot...@davidsuniverse.com wrote: Greetings all, Has anyone else noticed people often don't answer more than one question in an email? In fact, I'll generalise that and say people often don't read an entire email. I had this today (already) but this happens to me all the time (it's probably more like 25% of the time but I think the exaggeration is justified). This is particularly annoying when the main question isn't the first one (such as today's incident). eg, Please tell me A and B but I really want to know about C will usually just get me the answer to A. I don't want to have to twitterize my emails into single sentences of a few small words. I wonder how many people on this list didn't get past the first sentence :) David If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards... checkmate! -Zapp Brannigan, Futurama
Business Rules , what are the Tools/Methodologies to categorise/Implement them in .net?
what are the Tools/Methodologies to categorise/Implement business rules in .net? In the book Wisdom of the Gurus in Business Rules chapter by James J. Odell the fact that most of times business rules are actually by product of how a system should behave has been mentioned. My Question is how is one to reformulate the business rules that expressed in natural language to Object Behaviour by implementing them using Events and Methods? For example the rule: Do not take new order from customers that have more than 3 outstanding invoices, following combinations for implementation come to mind : 1.Implement some checking in the AccpetOrder method of Order class 2.Implement some checking in the AddOrder method of Customer class n. Implement some checking in the X method of Y class. A.In the Order.BeforeAcceptNewOrder event do the checking and revoke further processing using the BeforeAcceptNewOrderEventArg B.In the X.BeforeY event do the checking and revoke further processing using the BeforeYEventArg. 4.Some other behavioral modification using Events, so the interaction of objects can change dynamically ( as opposed to hard coding business rules ). There are just too many combinations / degrees of freedom in translating business rules into implementation, but surely by now a more holistic has come to being, anyone knows where or how to find them ?
