CST 438 Journal 1

When I first thought about a course in Software Engineering, I expected it to cover key topics like software development methodologies, project management, coding best practices, and perhaps some introduction to software architecture. I anticipated a focus on programming languages and tools, as well as hands-on projects that would help solidify my understanding of how software is built from the ground up.


After completing week 1, my perspective has broadened significantly. I've realized that the course not only addresses the technical aspects but also emphasizes the importance of communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in the software development process. The initial week’s lessons introduced me to concepts like Agile methodologies and the software development lifecycle, which I hadn’t fully appreciated before. This has heightened my interest and made me aware of how critical these areas are for successfully delivering software projects. Overall, I feel more engaged and eager to delve deeper into the intricacies of Software Engineering!

CST438 Week 6 Journal

This week i learned about Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and its significant impact on modern software development. I learned that SOA promotes the creation of independent services that can communicate over a network, enhancing interoperability and system flexibility. This architecture allows for better scalability, as services can be independently updated and reused across different applications. However, I also recognized the challenges associated with SOA, such as increased complexity and the need for effective data management and governance. Overall, understanding SOA has given me valuable insights into designing systems that can adapt to changing business needs while optimizing resource utilization.
