Encapsulating Logic Using the Command Pattern
Separation of Concerns (SoC), you have probably heard of this term already. In short, it is an important design principle in which you separate your code into individual distinct sections. A piece of software that has a good SoC is normally referred to as being modular. Modular code has the benefits of being reusable, easier collaboration, better testability, easier controlling of application scope, and so on. A great way of ensuring modularity in your code is by implementing the Command Pattern.

PostgreSQL and .NET
I used to like ORMs just fine but nowadays I find that I’m more of an advocate of doing much or all of the database work yourself. There’s plenty of reasons I think this, but that’s not really what this post is about. I just think there’s a lot to be said for the extra control not using a full blown ORM grants you. (Though I do still like using Micro ORMs as you’ll see)
