UML

how objects are connected, how they react/communicate.
Visualize and design
UML used to visualize the design
  • Associations simply show that there are some relationships between entities,static relation. ex: department offer courses.
    • 0..* zero or more (on both sides "many to many" )
    • 0..1 zero or one (one to one)
    • 1..* one or more (one to many)
  • Aggregation "has a" more specific than association "an association that represents (a whole part/ part) of a relation ship". ex: when a class is a collection/container of another class but the contained class doesn't have strong dependency on the container "if container destroyed, contents don't" (class container, students contained)
  • Composition "Owns"  more specific than aggregation, a strong life cycle dependency between instance of the container class and the contained, if container is destroyed, normally every instance that it contains is destroyed (school container, classes contained).
  • Generalization "Is a" (extends) solid.
  • Realization "one model implements the behavior of the other" dashed.
i.e:
relationship between entities have to be abstract so that unnecessary details doesn't hide the relationships between them

Not all Ps sting

  If someone meant to say Ps and pronounce it Bees. would this confuse you :). Ps is for the P that is the start of Properties and Practice Each application should have some properties and follow certain practices. Properties: Below are 5 properties we should try to have in our application with a small description of how to include them Scalable, Scale => Increase workload (horizontally scaling) Statless, no state should be shared among different application instances,  Concurrency, concurrent processing = Threads. Loosely coupled, decompose the system into modules, each has minimal dependencies on each other "modularization", encapsulating code that changes together "High cohesion".  API first, Interfaces, implementation can be changed without affecting other application. favor distribution of work across different teams.  Backing Services, "DB, SMTP, FTP ..." , treating them as attached resources, meaning they can easily be changed. Manageable, changi...

Micro-Service with mind-map

  If we were to give a definition to micro service, what will it be? A simple one is an architectural style, that functionally decomposes an application into a set of services, each service has a focused, cohesive set of responsibilities. Similar to most, it has to have some properties & practices, which we can categorize to a general ones and detailed ones “12-factors”.  Away from the 12 factor, Some general practice that be considered while decomposing a services:  Loosely coupled: minimum communication between Services. Cohesion: elements that are tightly related to each other and change together should stay together "Common Closure Principle (CCP)". Single responsibility principal (SRP): every micro-service should do one thing and do it exceptionally. When constructing an application or defining its architecture, we follow below three-step process: Identifying the system operations, functional requirement, which are the user stories and their associated user scena...

digging

Open SVG image in a browser, use arrows to navigate When you say digging, 1 st thought, most would think that you would plant a tree. How about digging in DATA 1 st Hadoop is a framework for processing large chunks of data, consisting of 2 modules HDFS: Hadoop Distributed File System "for managing files". Map-Reduce: hadoop methodology for processing data, where big chunks of data is divided into smaller chunks, each directed to the map f n to extract the needed data from, then the reduce f n where the actual processing we need takes place. Hadoop work on the whole data, in one time,  so it is considered Batch processing. 2 nd Hadoop eco-system It would be annoying, that each time you wish to do a task, you write a java code for each of the map function, then the reduce function, compile the code.. etc. yet Hadoop eco-system provide us with tools that could do so for us PIG: a scripting language "that is translated in the background to a ...
