Windows 8 Apps – Keeping it Simple - by @rd3d
We have all been is situations where we have seen code implemented in an unnecessarily complex way or where the number of features in an app has gotten out of control. I like to think that the use of “KISS” (“Keep it simple – stupid”) is one of the main stays of all the projects that I am involved in (!). However, I have seen my first Windows 8 project evolve from being simple (or so I thought) to being simple (“no, but really this time”). And I have to conclude that there is an algorithm in play that doesn’t always get the acknowledgement it deserves. In short I am talking about the relationship between “time and complexity”. Most people might understand that the more complex something is the more time is required for implementation. However, in my experience often times the opposite is true and time can be the (often missing) crucial factor in harnessing and reigning in an otherwise complex application.
