We’re all stories, in the end.

Hello everyone, my name is Ana Paula, but as I like to use pseudonyms in my blogs,  so my name here will be The Doctor.

I like programming classes, but I tend to have issues in those due to the fact that I have anxiety and I do like the things to work perfectly. Also, this is because I tend to compare myself to everyone else. Anyway, nowadays I know what I am capable of and that I have friends that support me and that asking the teacher for extra help is not bad. However, what I expect of this class is to be just as the first class where we learned and play to reinfoce the knowledge.

What I like is music, reading, and dancing. You can see me every day with a book in my hands and my headphones in the other. My favorite book is "the stranger" by Albert Camus because I have always thought that I do not belong to. Lately I've been  reading classic books and some  about philosophy, and the  one that has catched my attention  is  " The Russian Revolution"  by Leon Trotsky. 

My favorite band is thirty seconds to Mars and many Mexican rock bands. I also play the guitar and people would think that I like to play that kind of songs. Nevertheless, I do like to play but old Mexican music such as boleros. Anyway, you can see me at many concerts just enjoying the way music flows.

Beside that cultural side that I have, I tend to watch movies and TV series with my mom, especially cooking ones and mistery. I'm a true fan of Master Chef,  and I laugh out loud  with these programs  due to the fact  that I know how to cook, and  that my grandfather  has taught me  to cook cakes and desserts.  The last ones we watched were "Sugar Rush", "One day at a Time" and "Mr. Robot". 

I hope that people would enjoy reading this blog and I hope they understand some of the references that I will use.

A kid? A kid just broke my program?

LNowadays is common to think that anyone can use your software. In this group of anyone, there is the group of people who know and people who doesn't. We, as software engineers, need to take I to consideration both sides because just anyone can get access to  information that might not be for them. A clear example of that is Netflix, which includes a restriction for kids, or YouTube and even Facebook. To get to that point we need to think in our users,  and what they could do. In software engineering there are many methods to create these elements and to really analyze if they are really necessary restrictions or add-ons. On the other hand, we need to take into consideration the data that we are managing and to really send it in the correct way  to avoid people who steal our information even though that we are not that famous or important. In the case of the movie  War Games, set at the begining of the internet connection as a service, who anyone can access just by...

I am blind without my glasses

As far as we have learned in all our classes, we should always think of our clients need and uses. But after we get the requirements, a war starts due to the fact that everyone wants to set their point or perspective as the most important one. As we have learned from this case, there is no wrong perspective, but a blindfold one. We tend to seek out what we know and to think that this will be the right answer,  because that is what our story and our world works, but there are many other options.  In this case, I can relate this case to what we live everyday on our classes, where we need to create teams with our classmates. Normally we create these teams with our friends even though they have got the same perspective  and abilities as us. This case becomes a problem because when we need to understand what the client needs and desires we can only see one way of it, when there are many others. We need to think in our users, that could be our friend  or a stranger in an...

Is UX the new design?

Nowadays there  are many ways  to create a new project, a new program, or even a new add-on, but we  live in a society  that lives in the time  where changes are needed  so soon that  sometimes design  is  not done  when it is supposed to, or a methodology is not followed, because we are focused on the project and not  the  way we develop the project.  These ideas were affected by the way technology, clients and users change their ideas and necessities.  We have been developing new ways to satisfy them, but in the process, we have been forgetting the steps that we need to follow to correctly create a new thing. Sometimes we try to develop the necessities that we think that the client has to have,  but we are not truthly sure about it.   An example of what has been told is the point where we start using Extreme Programming to develop a project. When we use this methodology, we tend to forge...
