Introducing Myself


Hey, my name is José Antonio Malo de la Peña. I think must of you know me as Yuso. I'm at 8th semester of   Computer Science major at Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Estado de México.

I'm not sure what am I expecting from this course, but I want to improve my programming skills while learning a new programming language, in this case, Ruby. Also, I would like to understand how the software is designed and it's architecture.

My principal hobbies are:

Music. I love listening to music. Specially Avenged Sevenfold, The Beatles, Simple Plan, Joan Sebastian, Dvicio and Morat. As you can see, I don't have a favorite music genre. 

Soccer. I play soccer since I was a kid. Despite it is one of my passions, I'm not always happy with it. The reason? It consists of two words: Cruz Azul.

Video games. I spent some time playing games like Halo, FIFA, Fortnite, Dark Souls, Resident Evil and The Legend of Zelda.

My favorite TV programs or series are Club de Cuervos, Breaking Bad, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory and Limitless.

An Introduction to Metaprogramming

Hi, today's entry is going to talk about an article called “An Introduction to Metaprogramming” written by our professor Ariel Ortiz in 2007. First of all, I just want to mention that I’m really impressed because I didn’t know that our professor had many published articles and papers (we saw the others in my other blog for Compilers Design course). Basically, as its name says, it talks about metaprogramming, which is defined during the article as a program that generates other programs or just program parts. It is used to eliminate or just reduce a “tedious” programming task. It is like instead of writing complex machine code programs, we use any high-level language and use the compiler of that language to do the translation into the programs equivalent in machine code (low-level language). I have to admit that before reading this paper, I hadn’t fully understood the metaprogramming meaning and importance. We used and applied that term in a past course called Programming Languages...

Understanding the SOLID Principles

Hi, this entry is going to talk about a section called “Understanding the SOLID principles” from the book “Ace the Programming Interview: 160 Questions and Answers for Success” by Wiley in 2013. Basically, the acronym SOLID is explained a round this book section. This acronym stands for five accepted principles about object-oriented programming and design: 1.       S ingle Responsibility Principle: It stays that a class should have just one responsibility. Despite the fact that this principle sounds easy, I found it a little bit complicated, because the explanation wasn’t direct and simplified. Also, the author mentioned that there might be cases in which a class might have two responsibilities. So, at the end, what exactly does this principle stands for? 2.       O pen/Closed Principle: It stays that a class or a function should be open for extension but closed for modification. What does this mean? Our code must have the cap...

Microservices

Hi, today’s entry is going to talk about an article written by James Lewis and Martin Fowler called “Microservices” in 2014. Basically, by calling microservices, they are referring to like a particular way of designing software applications as suites of independently deployable services. But something interesting is that there is not a precise definition of that type of architectural style, there are only common characteristics around distinct organizations, business capability, automated deployment, intelligence in endpoints and also decentralized control of languages and data. This was the first time I heard this term, and something strange is that despite I didn’t notice about its existence I’d used them sometimes. Later in the articles, the authors gave us some characteristics that any Microservice Architecture must have. They are the following: 1.       Componentization via Services:  This is telling us that by building software, we put together...
