Teaching software engineering under the Sun

The weather was so nice we decided to have the class outside, we spoke for 1 hour of deployment of Ruby On Rails applications and the differences between development and production modes and discussed the students projects. Without computers, neither slides. Then we came back in to look at the status of their projects, debug some code and look at some documentation.

David Parnas and Mehdi Jazayeri

That was the end of a week of lectures by David Parnas who received an honorary PhD from our university. Mehdi gives him the last presents, the usual USI cap and a plate with some inscription about the degree :)

Is blog social software?

I have been at the csoa molino this saturday, the band circo abusivo was playing, it was quite an experience. The name comes from their interest in the concept of circus, traveling craziness, and the eye symbol from a friend of them belly dancer... The coincidence was too obvious not to write about it, I have been painting eyes recently and read a book by Paolo Coelho on the sorceress of Portobello who enters in trance by dancing, the one who sent me the book does a thesis on circus, fair grounds and mary go rounds in the digital age. Their music is indeed quite moving, I danced for hours. I look forward to the concert next week by Ciuciakamarononè.
