Blog overview 2009
| 29 December 2009 |
It's the end of the year again. Like last year I want to give you quick overview of this year's content. But first I want to thank you for the useful discussions we had in the comments and on twitter. I hope you enjoyed reading my articles as much as I enjoyed writing them. I wish you all the best for 2010 and hope we can keep sharing knowledge!
Top 10 posts
Based on the number of page views each article on my blog had this year I have created the following top 10 list:
- 15 reasons why you should start using Model Driven Development
- 5 types of Model Driven Software Development
- What every architect should now know about the Service Component Architecture (SCA)
- MDE - Model Driven Engineering - reference guide
- DSL development: 7 recommendations for Domain Specific Language design based on Domain-Driven Design
- SOA is dead; long live Model-Driven SOA
- A Framework for Model-Driven SOA
- 8 reasons why Model-Driven Development is dangerous
- Model Driven Engineering tools compared on user activities
- Architecture requirements for Service-Oriented Business Applications
I didn’t take the time of publishing into account when looking at the statistics. So, articles posted more recently are less likely to show up in the top 10, unless they are very popular. In this context it is remarkable that the number 1 article is my most recent one!
Blog summary for 2009
January- MDE - Model Driven Engineering - reference guide: my attempt to given an overview of most of the concepts and terms used in the field of model driven software development.
- 10 Misperceptions and challenges of Model Driven Development
- SOA is dead; long live Model-Driven SOA: a reaction on the SOA is dead discussion at the start of this year. Conclusion: SOA isn’t dead, but we need to develop SOA solutions in a model driven way.
February

hey Johan,
Good to have such a summary/overview of theast year. Go on with writing this kind of posts.
I’m looking forward for the next year, what can we expect from your side? New topics? New approaches.

Hi Andreas,
Thanks!
Topics for next year? Good question. As this year, I expect to write a lot on model driven software development. However, I will focus more on examples from practice. Furthermore I will cover topics like application architecture and process modelling. Maybe I am also going to write something about software development methodologies and the position of management in them.
Feel free to suggest topics!

Be nice. Keep it clean. Stay on topic. No spam.
