What is CQRS???

Hi guyz ..
What is CQRS???..
when i was on the facebook i saw a post from  C#.Net Page..
So i though it will help you guys also..
Actually this post is not written by me. I took this from C#.net page.
Thank you C#.net...





CQRS means Command Query Responsibility Segregation. Many people think that CQRS is an entire architecture, but they are wrong. CQRS is just a small pattern. This pattern was first introduced by Greg Young and Udi Dahan. They took inspiration from a pattern called Command Query Separation which was defined by Bertrand Meyer in his book “Object OrientedSoftware Construction”. The main idea behind CQS is: “A method should either change state of an object, or return a result, but not both. In other words, asking the question should not change the answer. More formally, methods should return a value only if they are referentially transparent and hence possess no side effects.” (Wikipedia) Because of this we can divide a methods into two sets:

Commands - change the state of an object or entire system (sometimes called as modifiers or mutators).

Queries - return results and do not change the state of an object.
In a real situation it is pretty simple to tell which is which. The queries will declare return type, and commands will return void. This pattern is broadly applicable and it makes reasoning about objects easier. On the other hand, CQRS is applicable only on specific problems.

Many applications that use mainstream approaches consists of models which are common for read and write side. Having the same model for read and write side leads to a more complex model that could be very difficult to be maintained and optimized.

The real strength of these two patterns is that you can separate methods that change state from those that don’t. This separation could be very handy in situations when you are dealing with performance and tuning. You can optimize the read side of the system separately from the write side. The write side is known as the domain. The domain contains all the behavior. The read side is specialized for reporting needs.

Another benefit of this pattern is in the case of large applications. You can split developers into smaller teams working on different sides of the system (read or write) without knowledge of the other side. For example developers working on read side do not need to understand the domain model.



Thank you guys ... :)

Multithreading C# : Part 01

Multithreading with C# Think about old days, you have one central processing unit (CPU) in your pc which is capable of executing one operation at a time. If we have 5 operations to run then we have to wait till one operation is completed and then only other one can start. What will happen if the running operation has a bug and got stuck, then whole computer going to be freeze and useless unless we restart it. This is a huge problem. So if we can run multiple operation in the same time that would be great because it will solve this problem.

Windows 8 Icons: Segoe UI Symbol

Whatz up guyz... In this post i am going to tell you about "Windows 8 Icons" . If you ever used a windows 8 app, you know that there are so many standard Icons. Actually we do not want to add images for each button, simply we can use the character map for obtain the icons.Go to the character map and select the font as "Segoe UI Symbol" .Then you will see lot of standard symbols in the character map.

C# Character Escape Sequences

Character combinations consisting of a backslash ( \ ) followed by a letter or by a combination of digits are called "escape sequences." To represent a newline character, single quotation mark, or certain other characters in a character constant, you must use escape sequences. An escape sequence is regarded as a single character and is therefore valid as a character constant.
