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.

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...

Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed

Throughout the years,  we have seen space as something far away and with lots of mysteries that we have not been able to solve or to even try to understand. An example of this is the "Dark Side of the moon" or even the theory of aliens and other lives.  Even though those things are still a mystery, we still have the fact that we have visited space and even landed on the moon. This moment was really hard due to the fact that technology was not advanced and there was not enough research for creating what we needed.  Also, it is important to mention that people who developed software did not have a methodology to follow, so there were many malpractices in the development of some of the programs.  In the case of the mission Apollo11, and the whole Apollo program, the US  government had some trouble due to the fact that they needed to ask universities to help them to develop the technology.  These requirements and the stress of the due date for the program...

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...
