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 what...

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 ...

Thanks for joining me! My intention for this blog is to document my experiments in Model Based Approaches and Cloud Computing within the IT sphere.  This will focus on the Sparx Systems products (in particular EA) and AWS as these are my current go-to platforms, but I may expand on this depending on the vagaries of chance.
