TC2004 – Good Code Practices

Final Reflection!

Through the partial and well, all of the semester I learned about successful project management and the steps one could follow to develop as a developer. Being a developer is fun, but it is also filled with daunting tasks, requiring every bit of your strength and sleep hours to accomplish. That is why we asContinue reading “Final Reflection!”

Object-Oriented Testing

Object-oriented testing (or OOT) is a collection of testing techniques to verify and validate object-oriented software. As we all probably know, testing is a crucial part in the development of a project, and if we don’t do it effectively we will be left with a high chance of having a buggy code, or a non-optimizedContinue reading “Object-Oriented Testing”

Verification & Validation

Verification and Validation (or more commonly known as v&v) is the process of investigating if software satisfies specifications and standards, and also makes sure the software can complete the tasks it was intended to do. Although they come together, verification and validation are two very different things. Verification is the process of making sure theContinue reading “Verification & Validation”

Code Revision

Code revision is something we may have all done in some point of time. It consists, as its name suggests, of reviewing code written in order to find mistakes, errors or bugs. This is a very important step in coding and thus it has to be preferably as effective and efficient as possible. There areContinue reading “Code Revision”

Reflection Partial 2

In this partial I did not have the opportunity to assist to class very often, primarily due to work and family needs. But this is not to worry because I still learned a lot through the making of masteries and listening to the few classes I went to. In one of the classes a meetingContinue reading “Reflection Partial 2”

From Classes to Code

Making diagrams while developing a project is really useful, it helps connect ideas, shows a clear way of the architecture or the behavior of the various systems and they will become kind of a guide at the moment of coding the project. But at te end of the day diagrams are just diagrams, a prettyContinue reading “From Classes to Code”

Classes to Tables

Converting a plotted class of a project into a database table is no easy feat, or is it? For some cases it actually is surprisingly easy, that is why this topic will try and explain the process of converting classes to tables. We want to convert classes to tables in order to actually start theContinue reading “Classes to Tables”

UML EPISODE TWO

Deepening the subject of UML, there are a lot of available types of diagrams in UML, each serving a different purpose even if some of them look similar to each other, they have their own characteristics and cases of use. In order to continue viewing the different types of diagrams UML has to offer, thisContinue reading “UML EPISODE TWO”

Reflection #1

This partial I learned a lot about project managing and personal growth. There is more to being a developer than just knowing how to write code. In the partial, our teacher Ken lets us have a flexible schedule when it comes to deadlines, and the class focuses more on talking / discussing about a topicContinue reading “Reflection #1”

PHARO: SMALLTALK

Updated: 11/11/2019 This partial we started learning the language Smalltalk through Pharo virtual machine. One thing to understand about Smalltalk and pharo is that everything inside this virtual machine is an object, even simple numbers. Every object has its attributes and methods, Pharo already comes with lots of packages to start exploring, which can beContinue reading “PHARO: SMALLTALK”
