Software Craftsmanship

Certainly, one learns more quickly from other people and this knowledge can be easily transmitted to more people, and in addition, there can be many improvements, because everyone does things differently, but in essence they are doing the same, but with different practices that are better fit each person. And this case is very true, because when I started using the Zend framework, I tried to read the guide for the projects, I must say that it was difficult to fully understand the operation, but in fact it was easier with a small introductory talk to the framework, this greatly facilitated the understanding and evidently improved my performance in the applications I made. In fact, I feel confident that I could be someone's teacher and give my student, an introduction to Zend.
“Share ideas and become a community. Community of professionals.” I share this thought, because sharing knowledge is incredibly amazing for everyone, and indeed we have a big community helping each other with different problems and situations.
Something important that is mentioned is that we must have a good relationship with our client, not only have to program without thinking, since the project is theirs and we have to get involved so that the project is what they want and what we think is the best, I think that is a very basic idea for the realization of projects, but often it is not respected.
Another very important thing is to perform tests, I have done them, and many times it is too annoying to do them, but if they have great impact, then in a big project, we can easily realize that it failed or that we broke and take measures to reverse the changes or even prevent those changes from happening and produce a downtime.

An Introduction to Metaprogramming

It is impossible that after reading this article we can´t remember the Programming Languages class. That part of the course when we began to learn about metaprogramming also I remember that in the class’ book were pages that have the quote that said that if is not necessary to create a macro don’t do it or in my case don’t try to do it and this was because that topic is difficult to understand, this topic was not an intuitive knowledge, I think that you need to be a high level programmer in order to make this kind of code. This kind of code calls himself a program that generates other programs or program parts, yes, this sound a bit confusing. So, the professor Ariel Ortiz told us in the Programming Languages class that the people who recommend to don’t use metaprogramming only if it is very necessary are people that don’t know how to create macros and the potential that these tools have and, in the article, we can see reflected that hypothesis of the professor. Even he puts an exam

Understanding the solid principles

This article talks about the SOLID principles which in fact as you known is an acronym that stands for five principles of object-oriented programming and design. Those principles allow us to avoid dependencies. So that means that the more things you depend on the greater the chance of something will go wrong. The principles are: Single Responsibility Principle, Open/Closed Principle, Liskov Substitution Principle, Interface Segregation Principle and Dependency Inversion Principle. I will talk about them quickly and explain why are they so important in our life as programmers. The single responsibility principle talks about that a class should have exactly one responsibility. That means that we have to have classes with a specific purpose and not mixed classes that if we erase something all the code went wrong or different. The open/closed principle talks about that a class should be open for extension but closed for modification. That means that we have to counter the tendency for

Hidden Figures

In this post, I will discuss the movie that we saw in class: "Hidden Figures" directed by Theodore Melfi in 2016.    It's the second time I've seen Hidden Figures and I can say that it has become one of my favorite movies.  The film tells the story of three African-American women who worked for NASA in the early 1960s, collaborating in an important space program. These brilliant women achieved incredible goals that seemed impossible because they were women and African-Americans. What impresses me about these women is their intelligence, their strength, their perseverance and their struggle that allowed them to demonstrate that they were more than capable of being involved in areas that were considered suitable only for the masculine intellect, such as science, mathematics and engineering. I can identify a little with those great women of that movie, not because of how brilliant they were, but because, despite being in the 21st century, in my care
