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 object-oriented code to become fragile or easily broken.

The Liskov Substitution Principle talks about that we have to keep that working relationship between classes and functions. That means that Liskov forbids modification of that behavior through the mechanisms of inheritance. This principle allows us particularly to be free to substitute a child class in a function that expects to deal with the base class.


The interface segregation principle talks about that we have to avoid writing monstrous interfaces that burden classes with responsibilities they do not need or want. That means that we must create a collection of smaller, discrete interface, partitioning interface members according to what they concern. And finally, the dependency inversion principle talks about that instead of writing code that refers to actual classes, we must instead write code that refers to interfaces of perhaps abstract classes. I think that if we follow this SOLID principle our codes will be better and easier to read, don’t you think so?

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...

Moon Machines

This video seen in class was very interesting because I have never asked myself how did they manage to build such a machine that can travel to the space. I did not even know how the planes guide their way to the next airport. Even though I felt very sleepy that video make woke up. The first scenes of the video really shocked me, thinking about the lives that were lost in those accidents is very sad, but we learn from our mistakes (sounds hard in these cases), and thanks to that space ships and space travels are something possible and easier to do with the technology that we have right now. Watching these types of videos makes me want to be an investigator, and help to contribute to technology so that every other science can make profit of it with more investigation.  Also I have never asked myself about the systems engineer part in the Apollo project, I can´t imagine the pressure that everybody of the I.T. team had in that moments, However one part if the video make laugh a li...

Ethical Reflection on Ready Player One

I deeply believe that creating something like this, something of such magnitude, would really be fascinating and incredible, having so much information and all the people in one place, traveling through different fantasies and besides everything, free, that better than a place like that, where the only thing you need (the most basic equipment) is a viewer and an internet connection. I would probably spend a lot of time in that reality, something that would be bad, because in my opinion, it is living a false life, as the quotes say, and probably that world maynot become terrible, but the real world may become terrible. People so obsessed with the game can get to do many things in order to have the best items in the game or to be the best, etc. Despite not having something like OASIS, I believe that there are already many people who live immersed in technology, not only in games, also in their computers or more commonly in their mobile devices, there can not be a family me...
