Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives: Moving Towards An Agile Approach
http://vivekpinto.blogspot.com/2009/10/moving-towards-agile-approach.html
Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives. Sunday, October 04, 2009. Moving Towards An Agile Approach. Lack of adequately trained personnel or training budgets to bring all team members up to speed quickly. Existing infrastructure, templates, software and tools that support the traditional approach. Lack of understanding from upper management and therefore an increased perception of risk. Posted by vivek pinto @ 6:05 PM. Links to this post:. This site provides reflections and opinions...

Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives. Monday, October 25, 2004. Design patterns: when, why and which one? What makes for a good pattern. Abstraction, definition and nomenclature. Natural interaction with other patterns. Easily extensible or adaptable. What patterns are not. Patterns are not libraries. A pattern is not a single class. A solution to all your architectural problems. C) 2004 Vivek Pinto For more details please visit us at Wonomi Technologies. Links to this post.

Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives. Saturday, April 23, 2005. Designing around an existing product. Been in a situation, wherein the design of an application occurs after the choice of a third party application has already been made? If you have, I am guessing you are sporting a wry smile right about now. 2 Understand the third party application. You may hate doing this, but you have to. If nothing else, this exercise will improve your character and at the end of the da...3 Und...

Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives: Automation!! Really????
http://vivekpinto.blogspot.com/2006/10/automation-really.html
Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives. Saturday, October 28, 2006. Some of the factors that are presented to a decision maker take the form of broad sweeping statements. For example, I recently heard a consultant say, "It is a best practice to automate the termination of accounts." While this statement may in itself not be erroneous, the automation argument has buried within it an inherent weakness. That weakness is like most things a part of its strength. The rate of change of th...

Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives. Thursday, February 02, 2006. Are you going to fix the system? You hastily correct his incorrect assumption, not wanting to raise any expectations. "No", you say, "I am here to understand what it does. Do you know if there is anything wrong with it? Who repairs the system? C) 2006 Vivek Pinto For more details please visit us at Wonomi Technologies. Posted by vivek pinto @ 4:26 AM. Links to this post. Chicago, Illinois, United States.

Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives: Project estimation
http://vivekpinto.blogspot.com/2005/07/project-estimation.html
Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives. Friday, July 22, 2005. A good estimate is the essence of a good project plan. Any manager worth the alphabets in his title will be familiar with the plan, do check and act cycle. This cycle is a distillation of a core principle of management that values measurement, visibility and continuous improvement. Break down a more difficult problem into smaller easier parts. Develop, archive and use metrics to provide an initial rough number. Reading ...

Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Migrating a J2EE application: Tomcat to Websphere. A piece of cake, you say! There are a number of reasons for this. They include:. 1 - vendors providing features and functionality over and above what a specification provides for. 2 - specifications not being comprehensive in their scope. This results in only parts of an application being portable. I use a case from a recent client to illustrate my point. The sou...

Software Architecture and Information Technology Perspectives. Wednesday, September 15, 2004. Architecting to prevent API drift. The goal of every well architected application is to lower the total cost of ownership of code by reducing the time and effort that goes into the implementation, testing and maintenance of code. A powerful idea towards this end, is the use of interfaces. Intefaces as defined by the Merriam Webster. Dictionary are the points ". Must utilize the interface exposed. In an engagemen...
