Study Notes
Software Development Methodologies
- Methods to divide tasks into smaller, more manageable parts focused on creating better products with more robust management techniques are software development methodologies, which expand project scope.
Agile Projects
- Agile projects are organized and managed by breaking deliverables into smaller, manageable work periods called sprints.
Software Systems
- Software systems support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network, like business intelligence systems.
Programming Languages
- These include scripting languages, web services, and client applications.
Software Development Methodologies 2
- Software development methodologies are frameworks for dividing software creation and deployment tasks.
Software Development Methodology 3
- Agile development is an iterative methodology focusing on speed and adaptability to changing requirements.
Server Applications and Software
- In a rapidly growing tech startup, agile development is favored as it allows for adaptations as needed.
Software Rollouts
- Many software rollouts' issues are common across various industries, but specific industry standards can exacerbate these.
Enterprise Software
- Enterprise software is used for everyday tasks like inventory management, tracking inventory, and processing large amounts of data.
Programming Languages 2
- Programming languages include scripting languages, used for automation and custom tasks; web services, which are used for communication; and client applications, which interact with systems.
Integrated Development Environment
- An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software program. It includes tools and features for developing computer programs.
Precise Instructions for the Computer
- A program is a set of precise instructions that tells the computer what to do.
Software for Electric Vehicles
- Software for EVs requires significantly more code than software for regular combustion engine cars.
Application Software
- Examples of application software include Adobe Photoshop, TikTok, and Canvas.
Robust Web Services and APIs
- Organizations with robust Web services and API procedures have a service-dependent architecture.
Database Systems
- Using different database systems for ERP and enterprise software is vital to avoid data inconsistency issues.
Implications of Diverse Database Systems
- Firms without common database systems have a much harder time managing their value chain effectively.
Specialty Devices
- Specialty devices, like video game consoles and set-top boxes, often need operating systems like MacOS or Windows.
Language Models (LLMs)
- Large Language Models (LLMs) can create various forms of text content.
Computer Hardware
- A video game console is an example of computer hardware.
Software Product Scalability
- The ability of a software product to adapt well in the face of increased workload is a key aspect of scalability.
Commoditization of Services
- Network effects are a key aspect of the commoditization of services.
Intellectual Property and Source Code
- Conventional software firms typically protect their intellectual property and rarely share source code.
Software Automating Processes
- Automating critical proprietary processes can be a successful SaaS approach for competitive advantage within organizations.
Legacy Systems
- Legacy systems might require adapting to new hardware or cloud technologies.
Total Cost of Ownership
- This encapsulates all associated costs for software including the initial purchase and maintenance.
Open source Products
- Open source systems frequently reduce development times and lead to faster product launches for vendors.
Cloud Computing
- Cloud computing often avoids the need for a significant hardware investment.
Open Source Revenue
- One revenue source for open-source vendors might be support and consulting for their products.
App Platform Restrictions
- The "walled garden" concept describes platforms with limited access, controlling a large portion of users' data.
Cloud Computing Services
- Cloud vendors that offer a combination of hardware, operating system, database, and software, are providing platform as a service.
Cloud Computing and Desired Skills
- Cloud computing has shifted the power balance towards venture capital funds in industries that previously relied on significant initial capital.
Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
- A lack of oversight by a commercial entity played a role in vulnerabilities in OpenSSL.
App Economies
- App stores may restrict access to certain geographic areas, and some apps that work well on one platform may not on another.
Cloud Computing Definitions
- Cloud computing primarily refers to the ability to replace physical computing resources with internet-based services.
Data Rich/Information Rich
- Some organizations are data-rich but not information-rich because they do not effectively transform data into actionable information.
Technology Expenditures
- Investments in technology often lead to significant returns in other areas, like business consulting and overhead costs.
Competing ISPs and Network Equipment
- An important concept for the modern internet, the competing ISPs connect their networking systems for traffic sharing.
Cable Technology Drawbacks
- Cable technology has limitations in data transmission efficiency when compared to other systems.
Starlink Use
- Telemedicine providers and humanitarians in war-torn areas utilize Starlink.
Internet Networks
- Internet networks rely on packet switching for data transmission instead of the older circuit switching method.
Letter Case and Domain Names
- Letter case in typing host and domain names doesn't hinder finding the destination in web addresses.
IPV6 Addresses
- IPv6 addresses are represented differently compared to IPv4.
DSL Transition Challenges
- One potential problem with the transition from DSL to full fiber-optic (FTTH) is the costs of infrastructure investments.
