S/W Design and Architecture

The chapter starts with a special and interesting quote, expressing that the architecture is the art of how to waste space. The whole article uses metaphors related to the buildings design and architecture procedures. I think the metaphor about the previous procedures that an architect needs to consider before start working is precise, as software architects we need to consider what the buildings architecture consider too but focused in our TI activities. For example, the blueprints as the article explains, show the primary level of information about the system, not how we’ll implement them or what it’s supposing to do, just the components that will be part and in conjunction will define the product itself, also how these components will interact and the “meaning” of each one. When we “map” something, we are in our first chance to define the “real world problem” what the product is attempting to solve and define its solution domain. The most specific is our description at the ...

The video talks about the engineers and technicians that made possible to travel to the moon the first time (approximately 400,000). It's interesting to know that the first Apollo contract was made to develop the rocket's navigation system, not the rocket itself. Also, it wonders me, how the test to the microchips were developed, the idea to take in that little weight difference as a test is an interesting idea.  In other hand, the "wire programming method", is weird, I never heard before anything about it, but I think it's barely related to the modern arduino cards in certain way if I'm not wrong. I can perceive another important points to demark from the video that I've seen in other classes, for example the test part to delete the major part of the existent bugs, or the need to develop a good teamwork program or the way the leader need to motivate the teammates to work properly and be aware of the current needs of the project and the problems that ...

Hi, my name is Ricardo: I study ISC, now I'm at 8th semester, I like videogames, specially the shooters and sandbox genders, I like reading dramas and sci-fi books, also, I play basketball and football ocassionally, I also like to go out to parties, cinema, eating wiht my friends or my girlfriend. Additionally, I'm now working at CSQTech, I'm learning how to manage and automatize business processes with ServiceNow. I travelled to Spain the last summer, and also visited Germany and Canada, it was a great experience that I hope to repeat soon.  I expect to learn how to program in Ruby because I've never used it, and improve my programming skills as I did the last course.
