HFOOAD Chapter 6 – “My Name is Art Vandelay… I am an Architect”

This chapter

This chapter has been my favourite chapter so far. It’s been the one that I’ve acquired the most knowledge about things related to a proyect I’m involved with outside of school. I’ll later talk about what was the most useful information for me in this chapter.

Good things about this chapter

I like the case example that this chapter uses. The other ones have felt kind of gimmicky. They were kind of boring and I didn’t think they would be real applications that I could be involved in. This one feels a little bit more real. It’s kind of complex in my opinion because the initial vision statement really felt very ambiguous ang general. It feels like a really big project. And I like that. I’m very interested to see how they’ll tackle such a large project.

The project that I’m involved in

Right now I’m involved in a project outside school. It’s an app that my team has been developing. Right know we’re more in the testing phase. This chapter has been really useful. Reading this chapter I was always thinking how we could have done a better job if we thought the way that the book encourages us to.

Start thinking big

One of the principles that the book talks about is that you always have to start thinking about how your app works in a larger scale. I think it is really useful for me because I always want to rush it and start coding right away.
