This week I read a blog post that I thought really related to the class about why software design is important. The blog starts off talking about what Software Design is and the different types of it. The blogger describes Software Design as a layout for structuring the code of your software application. The different types of software design are listed as Architectural Design, High-level Design, and Detailed Design. Each type gets its own paragraph description to teach you a bit about them. Then it goes into what the blog is about with the importance of it, separating it into four different points, and then showing a chart of the process. The blog ends with a conclusion about how their company can help you with design. I selected this blog post because I was always very interested in Software Design because I do not know much about what that area is about. This blog has a good, in-depth description of why Software Design matters, that I think every CS major should read. Many students just take a class to get the grade and not care ever again about the material anymore, and I am against that. Every area in Computer Science has something to teach you outside of school. I think this blog was a great read that I recommend for many reasons. I love how the blog separates different points and types into its own section, so that everything has its own explanation, and you do not need to go look up another site to understand information on this blog. The chart that shows the steps in Software Design flow is really well made, and shows you the right way to design from understanding the requirements to deploying the aspects of development into the design itself. It is a perfect introduction to somebody interested in working in this field, and shows exactly how good designs are made. Another reason I would recommend this blog is because of how every part of an application hinges on the design. No matter how hard you worked on your part of it , if the design is bad, the whole application will fail. I learned how modularity makes the software simpler by giving the convenience of future changes, the privileges of good Software Design, and how bad Software Design can destroy an entire application. The material affected me heavily because it showed how the Software Design is the backbone of an entire application, so it should never be taken lightly, and always should be put in the highest priority because it could make or break the application. I will take all the knowledge given to me through this blog into the future through looking even further into Software Design in the future, because it will be a big part of me trying to achieve my Software Development dreams. Now that I know why the design is important, I will spread further into what makes a design great or poor, and how design is improved.

When it comes to programming and building a program, we need to first sometimes implement a diagram to give others an overview of the said program. I chose this blog because it contains many types of articles based upon various types of diagrams which also include detailed information about UML diagrams. I chose to pick this topic because as a software developer, when working on project on teams it helps specify different parts of the diagram to divide up the work and make the connections to make sure it builds appropriately to determine the structure.

Why Use UML?

UML stands for “Unified Modified Language”, which can be the blueprint in the world of architecture designed to make software architecture more visual to help other software developer understand how everything is implemented. There are two types of Diagrams, Structural UML diagrams, and Behavioral UML diagrams. Useful for every type of occasion such as databases. In the example below, we have a simple diagram, each main category are the classes. Each class contains. attributes and methods that are assigned to their own classes such as public, private, protected, etc. also displays the data type associated with the methods. Relationships are the connections between objects made with other classes, we have different type such associations, inheritance, aggregation, implementation, etc. Animal listed as the super class and the specific animals are the subclasses, the arrows are the inheritance relationship from the super class. 

After what I have learned about UML diagram designing, I have a small amount of experience prior thanks to taking the database course. But the further we progress in the course I can have a clear perspective on how go about it and how to make one when it is needed to make programming and others much is simpler. UML could have been useful during my intro to programming class because when we draw something on a piece of paper to fully see the classes, methods, objects, data types, etc. we could make programming and the connection made. This benefit will help all developed communicate effective but examining the appropriate connections, even though if may have some conflicts when it comes to the code writing phase and readjust the diagram accordingly. I have provided links before to further give more insights about how to go about using and making UML diagram and the purpose on why it is a crucial part of the software development process.

Hello, I want to write this
blog after looking over some class activities again and seeing any questions to
review, but something caught my attention. I read the word
“microservices” in some class-work exercises; I got interested and
looked it up again. I found two links that helped me understand What are
microservices? And examples from Amazon company.

What are microservices? 

Microservices (microservice architecture) – is an
architectural method that structures an application as a collection of services
that are

• Highly maintainable and testable
• Loosely linked 
• Individually deployable
• Organized around business capabilities
• Owned by a small team

The microservice architecture makes applications easier
to scale and faster to develop, enabling innovation and accelerating
time-to-market for new features to reduce complex applications. It even allows
an organization to evolve its technology stack.

The pattern language guide 

The microservice architecture isn’t perfect; It has
several problems. Moreover, when using this architecture, many issues must
address.

The microservice architecture pattern language is a set
of patterns for applying the microservice architecture. It has two goals:

• The pattern language allows whether microservices are a good place for application.
• The pattern language allows the microservice
  architecture favorably.

Characteristics of Microservices

• Autonomous – Each element set in a
  microservices architecture can be developed, deployed, operated, and scaled
  without affecting the functioning of other benefits. Services don’t need to
  share any code or implementation with other services. Any connection between
  individual components happens through APIs. 
• Specialized – Each service is designed
  for a collection of capabilities and focuses on solving a specific problem. 

Benefits of Microservices

• Agility – promote an organization of small and
  independent teams that take ownership of their services. Groups work in a small
  and well-understood context and are allowed to work independently and fast. It
  helps to shorten construction cycle times. It benefits significantly from the
  throughput of the organization.
• Flexible Scaling – Each service is to be
  independently scaled to meet the demand for its support application. It enables
  teams to support requirements, precisely measure the cost of a feature, and
  manage availability if a service experiences a spike in demand.
• Easy Deployment – Enable continuous combination
  and delivery, helps try out new ideas, and rolls back if something doesn’t work.
  The low cost of failure enables experimentation to update code and stimulates
  time-to-market for new features.
• Technological Freedom – It doesn’t follow a
  “one size fits all” plan. Teams have chosen the best tool to solve
  specific problems.
• Reusable Code – Dividing software into small
  modules, which enables teams to use functions for multiple purposes.
• Resilience – Service independence increases an
  application’s stand to failure. With microservices, applications handle
  complete service failure by discrediting functionality and not crashing the
  entire application.
