Hello everyone

For this week’s blog topic, I will talk about Agile Methodology. This was one of the earliest topics we went over in this class but to me it was one of the most important one to understand and to remember. This blog explained and went over the main concept of it, going over in detail its values and principles, benefits, the implementation process and why it still remains as the favorite choice across the computer science field. Its main focus is on keeping things simple, adapting as the situation changes. Its foundation is highlighted in 4 key values:

1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
2. Working software over comprehensive documentation.
3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
4. Responding to change over following a plan.

These important values are supported by 12 core principle, where they emphasize the importance of adaptability, welcoming change and also increasing the communication between the programming team and the business partners which they are working with. This allows them to give a final product which meets every expectation of the customer, even when they decided to change or tweak some things in the middle of the process. This methodology encourages improvement, teamwork, communication while prioritizing efficiency and delivering a high-quality project/product. The workflow off Agile is pretty simple and it is easily explained through its six lifecycle stages: Concept, Inception, Iteration, Testing, Production and Review. Usually, teams complete their work in sprints. Each sprint most of the time lasts about two weeks. There are multiple checkpoints throughout this time, allowing the team to change direction if needed. This is extremely important as sometimes the customer changes its idea on how they want their product to work or to look so having these checkpoints, makes these changes possible. By continuously checking up with the requests of the customer and showing drafts and previews of how the product will look, this allows them to deliver a better final product. The reason why I chose to do this week’s blog in Agile Methodology is because it has become the gold standard in project management and software development, so it was important for me to learn it well as soon enough I will be working with it after I graduate.

To summarize everything, Agile is more than just a methodology; it’s a mindset that encourages teams to adapt, not be afraid of new changes or request and to deliver the best possible final version of the product, meeting each request given by the customer. By valuing collaboration, flexibility, and efficiency, Agile Methodology creates a strong team environment, where each person on the team feels like they are contributing something essential to the project. Just reading about it, it motived me to uses its key values and principles on my life, making my productivity even better as that is something I struggle at times.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) are publicly disclosed security flaws that pose a significant risk to software systems. These vulnerabilities, if left unchecked, can be exploited by malicious actors. Developers, therefore, play a critical role in defending their code against known CVEs, ensuring secure software development from the very first commit. The article “Defending Your Commits from Known CVEs” explores a tool that developers can use to safeguard their work, integrating security seamlessly into the development lifecycle. This blog post reflects on the key insights from the resource, what I’ve learned, and how I plan to apply these practices in my future as a software professional.

The article emphasizes the prevalence of open-source components in modern projects and warns about how these components can add vulnerabilities to your project. This article particularly stresses the use of the tool Git Guardian Software Composition Analysis to catch CVE’s before they are added in a commit. Git Guardian SCA is a vulnerability scanner made by Hacker News to catch risks early.

I selected this article because it connects directly to our course discussions on open-source development and using Git. Understanding how to mitigate CVE risks is essential in order for us to be modern developers, and this article provides a useful tool to enable us towards this goal. It also touches on the use of open-source software.

From this article I learned that the open-source movement has a profound place in current development. It blows my mind that 96% of current projects have open-source components and that anywhere from 70% to 90% of any given modern software is open-source components. I don’t know if I should be happy that the world is working together so much or sad that apparently a lot of software development is not as much coding as I initially thought. It also explained how you can automate the tool’s use with Git hooks which was a new resource that I was introduced to. It allows the developer to automatically trigger actions at different points of gits execution.

Going forward I will be much more vigilant in using any piece of open-source software since apparently a large number of those projects could be using CVE’s. I will also try to expand this vigilance to the rest of any future teams I am a part of. I will probably also look into making my own tools to integrate with git hooks.

    Since I use different
computers from home, class, and work, after learning from class about docker
and setting up the same environment for all the devices, I thought it was time
to look into docker more. The article is about what is docker, why it became
popular and comparing it with other tools. That is why I choose this article
because “Docker overview” by Marsdev gives comprehensive introduction about docker,
comparing to virtual machine, use cases and advantage over other tools over the
internet. It clearly explains these things easily and detailed make it ideal
choice to learn how docker works and its benefits.

    The article covers essential components of Docker including
Docker Engine, Images, Dockerfiles, Docker Hub, Volumes, Compose, and Desktop
and how they work. For example, Docker Engine serves as the backbone of the
platform, enabling the creation and management of containers, while Docker
Compose allows developers to manage multiple interconnected containers with
ease. Not only that, but it also compares other tools that have similar functions
like Jenkins, Kubernetes. Not only that this article summarizes how container are
“given resources that no other process can access and cannot access any
resources that have not been specifically allotted to them”. In the end, Docker
is a powerful tool that makes development processes faster and build, test and publish
apps faster and efficiently than before.

Reading this article
and idea of ‘container’ showed why docker became a powerful tool for environmental
consistency. Also, I learned that I could have the same development environment
in different devices and applications now after installing docker, I don’t have
to constantly upgrade and downgrade versions of angular, node.js and different
things between different computers, applications. It was a pain going back and
forth and just a single program solves that mess I had. This program gave me a
clear roadmap for implementing containerization in my own work.  This article decreased the time I had to use
for development workflow compared to before. Not only that, but I am also
trying to use different dockers extension mentioned in the blog and others in
the marketplace for future use. Extensions like Disk usage help me double check
resource usage during development too. In the end, docker will save me time
during development and expand my base as a programmer as it decrease level of
errors between different versions of my program and the time to find those
errors.
