Chapter 14. SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

This lecture captured me through the first lines of it, I think how he explained the concepts are very easy to get them, although the author doesn't go deeper in the concepts it explained them clearly, maybe it's because it's an introduction to the chapter.  I recall once my professor Roberto Martinez Roman told us that programmers look a lot like architects because we also need to create first blueprints to create high-level software, and that's a phrase that will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life. And while I started reading this chapter I noticed that the author made the same resemblance professor Roberto Martinez did. Like architects would like their building to stay safe and see if it's feasible to build it, programmers would love their programs to stay without any bug or even worse problems.  For that reason, Software Architecture helps us out to validate if it is feasible to program it also we can ensure that the code won't have any gaps

Moon machines

So far this has been one of my favourite video I have seen about software engineering, the feeling it produced on me was one of the reasons I started my undergraduate in computer science. I did not know that MIT university developed the guidance software for Apollo missions. Now it makes sense for me why MIT is such a good university at engineerings like computer science. In the video, one of the main problems that they encountered was the memory space they had for the software, little lady method helped to solve this problem, it was simple but very slowly to make, especially because it was hand made, and it needed to wire all the program through zeros and one.  If for some reason it had an issue in the wiring process, redoing it was a nightmare for the women in charge. Another aspect that surprised me was the reduction of the computer itself. It passed from a rack style to a small fridge size, that was a huge step in technology when Apollo 11 was landing in the moon it popped up a

Introducing Myself

Hello everyone: My name is Mauricio Maximiliano Pérez Pérez and like most of you, I'm doing my major in Computer Sciences currently in 8th semester out of 9th. Choosing my major was pretty easy for me, I can recall being little kid and falling in love with technology, playing video games with my brothers and having my computer lessons when I was in elementary school.  I fell in love with music when I was about 6 years old when my parents enrolled me in a drum course, but I dropped it later on. When I was in the second semester of my major, I started with Youtube guitar lessons and I have fallen in love since, besides music my other hobby is tennis. I've played tennis for almost 5 years now, these two hobbies fill in me with happiness. I love watching series, my recently favorite ones are: -Friends -The office -TWD (The Walking Dead) -Game of Thrones -Breaking Bad
