This week's article was a little short, but there are many ideas that can I can come up with. Basically, what the article was trying to do was to show the importance of architects, especially software architects. We have come a long way on our major of comptuer science, and it is time to start thinking big. Most of the projects we have worked in school are small projects which almost all of them consisted on a set of approximately seven classes, a database and a web server. Maybe for these projects you do not need a special person to check or validate the whole system.  But as the world progresses, organizations require bigger and more complex information systems and applications. Many of them involve the use of applications interacting with each other. Now, with that being said a special role or person is needed for a whole system to work. This includes knowing how a system interacts with a database, an application programming interface (APIs), with other classes, operating system

As of today, I am a Cloud Engineer working in Oracle. My main functions include helping customers design their cloud solutions. My main area of focus is cybersecurity, which involves mainly identity and access management, cloud security, governance and compliance. Since I joined the team, what I have been told is to master this field so that in case my workmates need help regarding the matter I will be able to help them. But that's all, we can say that some people dedicate themselves to master one field or subject (currently in my case, cloud security). Why am I writing about this? Isn't it supposed to be a blog about the article written by Pete Goodliffe about software architecture? Well, yes and no. I would like to talk about architecture from my point of view. Having interacted with cloud architects, there are many things that amazed me about how they work. One of the many skills they have is that they are really good at putting the pieces together. They must have a really g

We had the pleasure to watch the documentary video titled Moon Machines produced by the Science Channel in the year 2009. Personally, I have always been very curious about space exploration, planets, and anything related to space (astronomy). When I was a kid, I was always wondering about life in other planets and the search for organic components through the entire universe.  Ever since we were able to have classes of history, we were all told that the United States won the space race by placing the first man in the moon and bringing him back safely. Or that the URSS was the first country to put a man and a satellite in space. Or even if we dive more into a political aspect (some might consider it conspirative theories), the USA and URSS started building rockets because it was more easier for weapons (for not saying missiles) to travel through space than in the air...There a thousand approaches we can have for this topic, but the purpose of this blog is to talk about how humanity was

  Hello there, I am very excited to share this blog with you.  My  expectations about this course is to keep developing my programming skills along with my knowledge in the area. Learning about how there different strategies out there and things to know about software architecture might help the programmer to code in a more efficient way. Hoping this course is practical and excited to work with cloud components .  Regarding my interests and hobbies, due to the pandemics I have watched more tv programs and films, therefore time is going fast. Also, I like playing videogames with my friends. I hope that in the future when activities are resumed, I will be able to swim again as it was one of my favorite things to do. There is nothing else to mention but hoping we get an experience we will never forget.
