Software design and architecture

In the lecture of Code Craft we can see how software architecture is a high relevance topic for computer science, talking about how its evolution has increased the investigation and study cases. "Initial system design"... this is what Goodliffe mentions architecture is. This takes us to three pillars or cases in which architecture has jurisdiction: validation, discrimination and communication. Previous cases have direct impact in how you can avoid work duplication, redundancy, and wasting efforts (validation) When having proper software architecture, you improve communication as this helps with a high level view of what may be a complicated system or difficult to read to all stakeholders in a project. As for discrimination, it says how some situations can generate problems while decision making, having this concerns validated  we can then discriminate  some options. Mainly, the purpose of the lecture is to understand the importance and objective of s...

The race to the moon just began after the second world war, the world giants were facing off (United States of America and the Soviet Union, east versus west) - The Cold War. This is translated to a competition in which both sides are involved in a confrontation with various branches: political, social, military, scientific and economic. But from all of these, let us focus in the scientific part (even though in the video you can dive under the surface to understand  why decisions were made and you relate those scientific advancements with political and social matters). This was quite an instructional and interesting video. There are a couple of sections I enjoyed but the most likable - in my humble opinion - was when they were explaining IBM's gyroscope technology to have a reference as to where were they, I find this the most clever and genius way to implement a solution as they attacked on all fronts: budget, space, simplicity. As an addition, I find honorable and res...

Me, José Kotásek First off... I consider myself a curious person, whenever there’s a possibility for me to learn something new I tend to dive right into that topic, this is what I expect from this course, to have a broader understanding about software architecture while finding professional applications, currently I’m in a position in which everything I can relate between school and work is very favorable, in last semester I started seeing real life business applications for lots of my subjects, at the moment I’m implementing new projects and I believe this subject will greatly give me related knowledge. As for my hobbies, I love music and photography, actually made out of photography a business with some friends while still having time for my professional development in a company and school. I love music... listening, composing or playing it. I try to make every listening session a special moment by really listening to the music on an appropriate device and time. Recently I...
