Abstraction makes the Engineer
From my own experience I may say, what separates the engineer from the craftsman is clearly the ability to abstract. 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
