This is the 16th post in the Exercises in Programming Style focus series. In the book, this chapter is called Actors. In software, the actor model is a very specific way to design code: The actor model in computer science is a mathematical model of concurrent computation that treats 'actors' as the universal primitives of concurrent computation.

This is the 15th post in the Exercises in Programming Style focus series. Last week, we solved the top 25 word frequencies problem with the help of the database. This week, we will get back to solve it with code alone. The design is to model the problem as a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet holds a number of cells, each cell having a value and a formula.

This is the 14th post in the Exercises in Programming Style focus series. So far, we solved the word frequencies problem with code alone. This week, we will solve it with the help of infrastructure. And with this specific problem at hand, what better fit than the database? We can approach the problem by loading the data read from the files in the database, and retrieving the top 25 words with the relevant query.

This is the 13th post in the Exercises in Programming Style focus series. In this week in Exercises in Programming Style’s post, we will cover one of the foundation of Functional Programming, I/O. In Functional Programming, functions should be pure: a pure function’s return value must only depend on its input parameters.

This is the 12th post in the Exercises in Programming Style focus series. This week, we will focus on Aspect-Oriented Programming, a powerful programming technique: In computing, Aspect-Oriented Programming is a programming paradigm that aims to increase modularity by allowing the separation of cross-cutting concerns.

This is the 11th post in the Exercises in Programming Style focus series. This week’s post is dedicated to reflection: In computer science, reflection is the ability of a process to examine, introspect, and modify its own structure and behavior. The original Python solution is handled in different ways: the exec() function.
