Introduction

Hi! My name is Arturo Avilés. My favorite programming language is Python but I also like to learn about many others. My next goal is to learn React and master VIM.

Expectations about S/W Design and Arquitecture:

As a computer engineering student, I expect this course to show me how to use the programming design patterns and to learn some ruby which I haven't used in the last months.



Hobbies and Personal Interests:
  • Programming
  • Machine Learning
  • Automation
  • Travel

Books, music, movies, TV programs that I have recently enjoyed:
  • Rick & Morty
  • Valerian (Movie)

Metaprogramming (Comment)

The first thing that comes to my mind when reading/hearing the term metaprogramming the word metadata comes to my mind but they don't have the same meaning. Metadata is the data of the data of something, and Metaprogram is not the data of a program, it refers to a program that creates other programs. Imagine a program that creates an app for iOS devices and Android, wait! There is already some options in the internet to do such thing, for example Ionic, but metaprogramming is not that new. There are many other metaprograms like gcc, python interpreter, parse generators like bison, and more. A great example that I read was the one of Erika. She was more outstanding than his programming professor and made a program that generated another one. Although she didn't create something revolutionary, it was so good to explain metaprogramming. As mentioned in the lecture, a quine is a program that prints its own source code, but why would this be helpful for something? Imagine that ...

Microservices (Comment)

Using microservices is one of my favorite things on projects, they make it easier to reuse already done software written on any programming language. The only drawback is the complexity of organizing those microservices. Another problem is to define how small your microservice should be. This microservice can scale horizontally by running many instances behind a load-balancer. As Martin Fowler and James Lewis said, a microservice has the next characteristics: Componentization via Services Organized around Business Capabilities Products not Projects Smart endpoints and dumb pipes Decentralized Governance Decentralized Data Management Infrastructure Automation Design for failure Evolutionary Design For me, the best implementation of microservices are APIs and packages that can be called in order to create or transform a piece of information with certain operations/instructions. Now a days we don't create a server entirely, we use a package to create an endpoint that ca...

Is Design Dead? - Comment

In every coding project there are people that will write it and some others will design it but without any question, both of them should know that coding isn't trivial, design errors or coding errors will occur and it is essential to have a risk plan in case that something happens. This allows to have a stablished way of dealing with the problems that will appear as the project grows. Depending on the scope of the coding project, if it will be a program that has some components (an API, a database, users, security, etc.), it is important to design it before beginning to code it. This allows to design it to be scalable, secure, maintainable, and error-prove. If the project is just to write a a program that will resemble a calculator, it is just fine to code it as you go. This means that depending on the complexity of the project, it is necessary to define certain documents to establish the foundations that will allow to create bigger projects (more modules, more people assigned t...
