TOGAF & Software Architecture
vhanniet - 2013/05/14Edited on 13/12/5 I recently obtained the TOGAF Foundation Certification. That’s nice to be successful at first time with a certification exam, my first exam since at least 25 years! I’ll talk about TOGAF in other posts but, you know, when you just learned something new and discovered a new part of the world you

MDE shuffled again
vhanniet - 2012/10/18Some background (click to show) [show][hide] Almost nine months after my last post on this blog. What happened? I got a baby! She’s ten months old now and she has taken a big place in my “spare life”. Also I started others blogs. So, I take this long break as an opportunity to think again

Successful MDA’s drawbacks… A true story #2
vhanniet - 2011/10/14Facts This (other) company, uses an MDA/MDD life-cycle since many years. It works fine but… A first problem, funny if you think of it, is that MDA works too well: developers who work on MDA projects for a while, say 3 years, lost part of their ability to be a “standard” developer. Say they develop

Lazy modeling #2: laziness attitude
vhanniet - 2011/07/07Say that lazy means not going till something’s end. Lazy modeling means doing models that don’t hold all the material they could carry. Say we talk about MDD(a) (What else? ;D), so we talk about a PIM(b) which describes business/functional/architectural requirements. This PIM holds decisions about a solution to an initial business need that has

The Sustainable MDA Manifesto: 1st draft
vhanniet - 2011/05/16Following recent discussions, with MDA and Executable UML OMG’s initiatives in background, here is my proposal for a Sustainable MDA Manifesto. It’s a first draft, so feel free to contribute. Introduction Even if one want to see them overlapping, modeling and programming are by very nature different activities. The “IT world” does love programming, mainly
