Working with distributed software is always a pain, the upgrade of the software is always a difficult part doesn’t matter how you look at it: data structure, data, code itself. One of the issues of the software upgrade is that not all “nodes” are available all the time and because of it an upgrade may … Read More
I muss say that today I was thinking to write about some code, but unfortunately I didn’t have time to upload it to Git, so I needed to shift the topic. Yesterday I was watching a presentation from Israel Hilerio about Building Offline Access to Websites Using HTML5. Nothing amazing, but an interesting presentation, mainly … Read More
Sometime ago I wrote about Search and genetic algorithms, and for my surprise I saw this week an article about evolutionary computation and software engineering: Software Engineering Meets Evolutionary Computation. Nice article, it describes the direction that this area is heading in the software engineering; that a look, maybe that is the area that will … Read More
Last Friday I have read an article from Mr. Martin Fowler about VCS, focusing in Distributed Version Control System. Although it is an interesting topic, I guess it is a kind of technical discussion if it should distribute or not.Before someone wants to shoot me, I know that there are advantages over a central system, … Read More

Last friday a friend of mine send me a interessting link. It is a post from Joel Spolsky about software team quality. On that post it is proposed 12 questions to analyse your team quality, I don’t think that it could garantee you team quality, but for sure missing something like these could cause some … Read More
For those interested in another IEEE document terminology (sorry for those I don’t have any link, but I have the document – just send me an e-mail): IEEE 610.2-1987: IEEE standard glossary of computer applications terminology IEEE 610.3-1989: IEEE standard glossary of modeling and simulation terminology I hope it could help to make us communicate … Read More
We all know that communication is a great source of problems, and it is not different in software development.Most of the terms that we use comes from a common sense of its meaning, but it is important to have a source for them. Although the dictionary is a great source for terms (not only the … Read More
