Cloudy Models

One of my main Cloudy Models projects is working on the Ser.Aws EA plugin.  Building a plugin for EA involves creating an assembly (DLL file) which EA loads on startup.   The plugin can be written in a number of possible languages, but I have chosen C#.  There are a number of bits and pieces that work hand in had together to make the development process easier, fun or more effective. Note that although I have a background as a programmer, it's been a while since I've spent 8 hours on a keyboard, cutting code; Also, my background is in C on Unix with smatterings of C++, Java, Perl, Ruby... etc.  I did do a little bit of C# commercially, as part of working with ESRI  software, but I wouldn't describe it as being extensive.  Anyway, standard disclaimer, this is just my setup.  It could be all wrong. I could change my environment at any moment, if I learn or realise something new. Without further ado, below is my environment (both current and whatever is in the works or I h

In the last year or so I've been involved, organised, created, done or thought about a number of inter related bits and pieces (technically speaking) which relate to the purpose of the Cloudy Models blog. Vaguely speaking, I want to: Expand my knowledge of Cloud Computing, both from an architecture and design point of view as well as a hands-on-get-my-hands-dirty point of view. Flesh out and test ideas related to model driven approaches ( MDA , DDD , etc) Combine both Cloud Computing and Modelling and see where tooling is useful and effective. Play/experiment with  Sparx Systems EA . And in a sense  Eat My Own Dog Food . More concretely, I have been involved in the following: Brisbane Sparx Systems EA SIG  meetup group, which I co-organise with Paul Reedman . Brisbane Sparx Systems EA Website  which is a website related to the SIG. Sparx systems Ea Repository (SER)  - An open source github repository in which I will host on a longer term basis, any resources I create f
