Courses, seminars and certifications.
2010-06-10. Verksamhetsmodellering
One-day introductory course on business modelling. Aspects of business -
goals, information, processes, stakeholders, assets and culture.
Modelling methods, tools and useful practices for collecting and organizing
the information and presenting the results. Lots of information about how
to do thorough investigations on modelling large business organizations.
Not for quick assessments, e.g. as part of pre-design of a low-budget
process support tool.
2010-03-18. UML-dag
One-day course on UML. History, diagrams and concepts. How- and when
to use UML. Limitations of the language and practical guidelines. Tools
and their pro's and con's. Some extensions to UML for systems modeling,
executable code, business modeling and rules. Lot's of repetition and some new
insights.
2008-09-24. Praktiskt kravarbete med användningsfall
Two-days-course on the application of use-cases when specifying system
requirements. How- and when to use use-cases. Limitations of the method
and practical guidelines. I learned that use-cases is a very good tool
for supporting discussions and knowledge transfer between the end-user and the
system developer. Not very useful for system/requirements documentation
or system description.
2006-06-29. Sun certified Web Component Developer for J2EE 1.4
I think it's both fun and educating to take a certification on stuff I've
been working with for some years. On the road I learned about
some stuff that I've never used before. Some of it will I probably never use,
but there was also some really useful technologies.
2005-09-01. Introduction to UML
The uses and non-uses of UML. Introduction to types of diagrams, their
uses and syntax. Examples of software projects using UML in documenting
different system aspects. Examples of using UML for brainstorming and
discussing functionality. There clearly are more diagrams than is useful
in normal fast-track software development projects. And definitely a lot
more syntactic regulation than can be of use when drawing up a design at
the whiteboard. Got a lot of new input and references useful when I need
to decrypt all the cluttered diagrams created by architect programs that
some people uses instead of writing text.
2004-11-26. Sun Certified Programmer For The Java 2 Platform 1.4
For programmers experienced in using the basic syntax and structure of
the Java programming language. I've been using Java since 1996 and I've
been involved in many research projects exploring the Java programming
language on different virtual machines on many levels; from security
aspects of the inner workings of different JVMs to evaluating the
suitability of using the Java langauge in computer science education.
I did this certification mainly because it was a prerequisite for
higher level certificates. On the road I got some familiarity with the
certification process and the business built around it.
