Programming Class with Carl-Friedrich and Alan
Some playful thoughts on executing vs understanding: Little Carl-Friedrich and little Alan go to the programming class. They are told to do the following exercise: write a program to sum up all integers from 1 to 100. Continue reading

Human centric Modelling
There is a modelling at the low-end, that we use every day a million times, and there is modelling at the high-end with comprehensive concepts like UML, MDD etc. Both are good to have. Perhaps approaching the modelling topic from the low-end would make it easier accessible for most of the software practitioners. Continue reading

Complexity Aware Modelling II
Complexity aware people are able to recognize complexity, and regard it over things like size. How do they recognise? Mainly by modelling! Continue reading

Complexity Aware Modelling I
Wow – I discovered that beyond the actual technology there is something called business logic, and – most surprising – it was not trivial! (on Complexity Aware Modelling) Continue reading
