Property Patterns

Title: Property Patterns
Person: Ran Eilam
Length: 40
Language: English
Abstract:
Many programs allow customization through the use of configuration properties.

We've all tinkered with configuration files, option dialogs, and command line
arguments. Regardless of the technologies involved, there seem to be patterns
for working with these deceptively simple pairs of keys and values. Some
pattern ideas we will discuss:

* Sections and Subsections
* Cascading Properties
* Formula Property
* Lazy Properties

We will look at a production build system, written mostly in Perl, that
implements these ideas.
