Software design and architecture

Software planning and design was not something we gave the importance it has when we started programming, creating and developing small projects for our courses. It was only when we started making greater projects that we became aware of one of the statements the chapters make: having a mess spaghetti or subway-like it’s going to make it hard for you to know what you did, how to fix an error, where it was or to add more functionality. What I take from the lecture, besides the types of software architecture and how it resembles pasta, is how awfully important it is to plan and create a design in the early stages of how your project is going to be implemented to have clarity and help the detection of errors or lack of requirement fulfillments. Just what happened to us last semester when we had to redesign the whole project midway into the semester. Still I had not come up with the term software architecture and if it was not for that lecture, I still would be confusing it with othe...

To be honest I didn’t have an idea of how important the whole Apollo project was to the software world and vice versa.   I was already aware to a point that it had helped the computer hardware industry to develop great achievements and progress on the technology to be used because of the challenging requirements, but I did not expect it to play such an important part to the software engineering development as it was presented in here. It was shocking how the project pushed the software development so far it had to evolve. To fit the requirements of complexity and size, they laid the ground for preemptive scheduling and process priority that is used now in our computers. The gyroscopes we nowadays have in lots of our devices. The project was also important in the aspect that it brought up some of the most important issues about software development we have to these days, like how they began not knowing what to do, that requirements were needed, the importance they had to assig...

Hello there.I'm Desirée. I don't have an idea of what to expect of the course. I hope i like it. In my free time i like to play video games, listen to music, read, draw, dance and sports.
