Usage\n \nIn our everyday life, we collect a lot of information and try to turn them into knowledge since our minds do not deal with reality itself but instead with models of reality. However, to model a more sophisticated reality with numerous variables, this process won't happen over a night and may take time to process as Jesse Schell once said: "reality is amazingly complex. The only way our minds are able to get by at all is by simplifying reality so that we can make some sense of it" in other words to grasp it as knowledge. The amount of time the information could transform into knowledge depends on factors like \nperceiving the information\n, which means finding meaning in the collected data. With the help of Diagrams, you get a symbolic representation of information using visualization techniques, and the process of perceiving information becomes feasible. Diagrams are abstract graphic portrayals of the subject matter they refer to; They are rapid and efficient way of transforming information into knowledge. Furthermore, "when we are presented with a picture already drawn with lines (Diagrams in this case), it has been "pre-digested" in a sense, matching our internal modeling mechanisms, and saving them a lot of work; This is part of why people find cartoons and comics so soothing to look at — our brain needs to do less work to understand them."\n\n\nThere are three main types of diagrams:\nLogical\nQuantitative\nSchematics\nLogical \nor\n conceptual\n diagrams show a group of items and their relationships. We use these kinds of diagrams when we want to describe something more \nmathematically\n.\n\nQuantitative \ndiagrams represent the relationship between two or more variables that are either discrete or continuous. These diagrams have more application in the \nstatistics \nworld.\nSchematics \ndiagrams represent the elements of a system using abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures. A schematic usually omits details that are not relevant to the vital information; The schematic is intended to convey and may include oversimplified elements to make this essential meaning easier to grasp. \n\nLeverage in software\nWhen we want to frame the world into software, we should use these concepts so that anyone can understand what we have in mind. For example, UML diagrams are an essential part of software design.\nThere are several types of UML diagrams. Each one serves a different purpose regardless of whether it is being designed before the implementation or after (as part of documentation). The two most broad categories encompass all other types are the Behavioral UML diagram and Structural UML diagram. As the name suggests, some UML diagrams try to analyze and depict the structure of a system or process, whereas others describe the system behavior, its actors, and its building components.\nThe different types are listed as follows:\n• Behavioral UML Diagram\n• Activity Diagram \n• Use Case Diagram \n• Interaction Overview Diagram \n• Timing Diagram \n• State Machine Diagram \n• Communication Diagram \n• Sequence Diagram Structural UML Diagram \n• Class Diagram \n• Object Diagram \n• Component Diagram \n• Composite Structure Diagram \n• Deployment Diagram \n• Package Diagram \n• Profile Diagram \nNot all of them are practical, but to establish the best possible software architecture, we should at least know them.\nAll in all, diagrams help us to comprehend the complexity of abstract systems; as software is the most significant human-developed abstraction, we could better engineer and architect our software-based systems to create even more life-changing products.

Diagrams in the Web, Mapping the World. 

It was around 2011, after the introduction of 'iCloud' by Apple, the use of this term faced significant growth among people all over the globe, and we have used it ever since, but little that we know this concept has been around for a long time just with a different name. The question that might pop up in your mind by hearing this term is what actually is this 'Cloud'?
Cloud computing refers to delivering computing services over the internet ("the cloud") to offer faster innovation, more flexible resources, and more significant economies of scale.

Before cloud computing came into existence and investment in it, companies had to store all their data and software on their own hard drives and servers. They had to prepare on-premise computing, the same as one hundred years ago when a factory needed electricity, it would build its own power plant; but once the factories were able to buy electricity from a public utility, the need for pricey private electric plants subsided. Same as a public powerplant, nowadays, by virtue of cloud computing, there is a colossal shift arising.

Here's a quick history of where did this start and where it's going:\n\n\n\nThe second question that you might face is why 'cloud'?
Here is a list to enlight you:
On-premise computing is pretty expensive and hard to scale; cloud-based is easily scalable and charges you for the time you use.
in On-premise computing, you have to manage your data storage, whereas, in cloud-based, there are providers who will manage the data storage
There is more security in cloud-based solutions because you don't have to monitor, and providers will take care of that.
It is improbable that data can be recovered from on-premises systems. In contrast, cloud computing has robust disaster recovery measures to ensure data can be recovered more quickly and easily.
An on-premise solution requires updating hardware and software by ourselves, loading up the cost considerably; on the other hand, in the cloud-based solution, the providers will take care of this for you.

The third question is, how does 'Cloud' work?
Let's start with the Cloud computing types, which have two :\nService model\nDeployment model\nThe service model would divide into:\nSaaS(Software as a Service)
SaaS is a software distribution model in which a third-party provider hosts applications and makes them available to customers over the internet. Some examples of SaaS are Salesforce, Netsuite, Concur, Microsoft 365, etc.\nPaaS(Platform as a Service)
PaaS is a model in which a third-party provider hosts application development platforms and tools on its own infrastructure and makes them available to customers over the internet. This model enables users to deploy applications without acquiring, managing, or maintaining the related architecture. PaaS requires you to handle the applications and the data, and the cloud handles the rest of the components like runtime and operating system servers.\nIaaS(Infrastructure as a Service)
IaaS is a model in which a third-party provider hosts servers, storage, and other visualized compute resources and makes them available to customers over the internet. IaaS is a cloud service model where users access basic computing infrastructure commonly used by its administrators. In this model, you must manage the data, middleware software, and os; the cloud will handle the rest. Some examples of IaaS are Microsoft Azure, AWS(Amazon Web Services), and Google Compute Engine.

\n\nThe deployment model would be divided into 3 main sections:\nPrivate cloud\nPublic cloud\nHybrid cloud\nPrivate cloud:
Private clouds are cloud computing models in which the infrastructure is dedicated to a single organization. This model is mainly used in governmental and financial platforms. Some Private cloud vendors are HPE, Redhat, Openstack, etc.

Public cloud:
The most common type of cloud computing deployment is the public cloud. The cloud resources (like servers and storage) are owned and operated by a third-party cloud service provider and delivered over the internet. The cloud service provider owns and manages all hardware, software, and other supporting infrastructure. Public cloud deployments are frequently used to provide web-based email, online office applications, storage, and testing and development environments. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are examples of public clouds.

Hybrid cloud:
The hybrid cloud is a computing model that combines on-premises, private, and public cloud services; in some words, you can have control of a private cloud and the low cost and efficiency of a public cloud. Some examples of hybrid clouds are AWS Outposts, Azure Stack, Azure Arc, etc.

It's important to know that each service model could be used in the deployment models.

 The need for cloud-based solutions is increasing, and more companies are considering cloud-based solutions. The Cloud computing model enables your business to communicate and share more easily outside of the traditional methods. It allows better employee collaboration, enabling multiple users to share and work on data and files simultaneously. So you'd better get into the cloud computing industry ASAP!

Let's say you want to order a cheeseburger with extra cheese from a variety of options on the menu at a restaurant. After making your decision, you tell the waiter, “I want a cheeseburger with extra cheese.”\nThe waiter writes down your order and delivers it to the kitchen team, who prepares your meal according to your specifications. When your meal is ready, the waiter picks it up from the kitchen and brings it to your table. After reviewing it to make sure everything is just like you ordered, it's time to eat!\nNow, what does it all mean? Well, it's interesting to know that waiter in this scenario closely resembles an API(Application Programming Interface) on the modern web in their role of delivering data(Instead of food) from third-party products(Instead of the kitchen).\nShortly, an API:\nReceives a set of instructions (a request) from a source (such as an application or engineer)\nTakes that request to the database\nFetches the requested data or facilitates a set of actions\nReturns a response to the source\nAPIs ensure that data extracted from one application is formatted and passed on securely and accurately to the next, regardless of the associated applications' changes. In other words, APIs allow different systems to communicate seamlessly and quickly. \nBut why is it so important?\n Well, APIs speed up the development process, offers a better customer experience, and generate additional revenue(Because products can get to market faster, companies have more freedom to experiment and find new ways of generating revenue).\nMany popular products are also using APIs. For example, Uber applications use Google Maps API to pull out the location data. That is why the term "API Economy" is transforming the world, connecting all the points(products) to build a vast network.\n“The world is on course to having a trillion programmable endpoints and the momentum behind serverless, multi-cloud, and APIs are increasing into this year, so the world will probably double the number of endpoints that are generated. This is going to create all sorts of new problems that need to be solved: autonomous management of APIs, to improve coder productivity, new programming languages and cloud abstractions to remove complexity,” said Tyler Jewell, the managing director at Dell Technologies Capital.\nAPIs let us connect other third-party products, like puzzle pieces, to build a fully-functional product. Eventually, Wish Work has used APIs from third-party products(We will talk more about third-parties) like other big companies to avoid reinventing the wheel. As a result, our processes have been fast and feasible, allowing us to complete our projects as quickly as possible.

Perhaps you would wonder if we tell you that some functions in a restaurant are similar to those in the development process?
But how is it possible?

Design works as a language and to answer this question you need to know the fundamentals of language itself.\nIn every language, every used element has meaning, and the structures and ways we combine these elements expand upon their meanings or create new ones altogether. Clear and consistent rules are what make languages successful. Consistency makes every language easy to learn, teach, and understand.\nPretty clear that to call a set of designs a DESIGN LANGUAGE, we need to have a formal, unified system of meanings to communicate with our users intelligibly. Colors are a great example of semantics representing predefined messages in the language.\nDesign language ensures that all the teams throughout a company can follow the same rules and methodologies. This allows them to have a set of reference points and coordinates that makes the design process efficient and free of confusion.

Based on the Britannica dictionary, software is an instruction that tells the computer what to do; it comprises the entire set of programs, procedures, and routines associated with the operation of a computer system.\n\nAlthough the term, software was defined in late 1940, the concept of software dates back to the early 19th century. \n\nIn 1842, Ada Lovelace (daughter of the poet Lord Byron) came up with the term: poetical science. When the only use of a machine was to calculate the data, she developed a vision of the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching by describing an algorithm for the Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers. \n\nIt is considered to be the first published algorithm ever specifically tailored for implementation on a computer, and Ada Lovelace has often been cited as the first computer programmer for this reason.\nAs a software company, here at Wish Work, we acknowledge that software is the end-point of the correlation between art and science. Like Ada Lovelace said, a poetical science.\nIf you are interested in Ada's story, you can watch this video:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7ITqnEmf-g\n
