nge of design. A data-oriented approach to code design considers the change in design through the lens of under-standing the change in the meani g of the data. The data-oriented approach …

A data-oriented approach to design takes note of the change in design by understanding the change in the data. The data-oriented approach to design also allows for change to the code …

This page is from the beta release of the Data-Oriented Design book. There are errors, spelling and factual, and this page is only kept for purposes of maintaining old links.

The problems we face when applying data-oriented approaches to existing code and data layouts usually stem from the complexity of state inherent in data-hiding or encapsulating …

In many cases, the following chapters are ideas that started out as simple observations and slowly evolved into solid frameworks for building software in a data-oriented manner.

In essence, data-oriented design is the practice of designing software by developing transformations for well-formed data where the criteria for well-formed is guided by the target …

Data-oriented design has always been a good way to move towards performance and scalability, but having a live example running in a public presentation like this will hopefully bring more …

If we wish to implement finite state machines without objects to contain them, and without state variables to instruct their flow, we can call on the runtime dynamic polymorphism inherent in …

In data-oriented design, we prefer to use design patterns as they were initially intended, as a way of communicating between engineers without needing to describe all the reasoning behind it.
