Book Summary: A Philosophy of Software Design

Hi 👋  and welcome to a new post!

Today I’ll post a summary of a book I read at the beginning of 2023, titled “A Philosophy of Software Design”, by John Ousterhout. John is a professor at Stanford, where he teaches “Operating System Principles” and “Software Design Studio”.

In the book he distills a career worth of advice, taken from his personal experience and the issues and solutions emerged while teaching his software design course.

The Power of Code Katas: Katurday @ XPUGBg

Hi 👋 welcome to a new post. Today, I’m going to describe my experiences at the “Katurday” sessions held by the XPUG Bergamo group.

The events are called Katurday because we perform a kata on one Saturday morning every month. It’s a great way to code and learn with other people 😃.

What is a kata?

Hi 👋 welcome!

This post is a short summary (with personal notes and opinions here and there) of the XPUGBg (Bergamo’s eXtreme Programming User Group) meetup I attended in March.

Actually, it’s just a bunch of notes and ideas connected together by my imagination and opinions 😂 (as I already did here and here).

This month’s talk was titled “The Actor Model and why an XP programmer should know it” by Emanuele DelBono.

Book Summary: Atomic Habits

Hi 👋  and welcome to a new post!

Today I’m publishing the (raw) notes I took while reading “Atomic Habits: An Easy and proven way to build good habits and break bad ones”, by James Clear.

Even though I read this book two years ago, I stumbled across this notes and they were helpful in remembering its main ideas and concepts. I know there are many summaries and reviews of this book. Still, I’ll keep this notes on the blog as a personal learning reference.
