How to read?

All the time we have new information and no time to learn everything so what I did was to learn how to read faster.

What I learned was the next points previous to the lecture:

1. About the material
• Where comes the information?
• How many time I need to spend?
• What is the relationship with me (job, hobbies)??
• Is the material appropiate?
2. What I want to read?
• Why I chose this material?
• What kind of information Am I expecting?
• Do I need to read everything?
• What the purpouse of the new information?
• The new information Would increase my knowledge?
3. Previous to read
• What I am expecting to learn?
• Would it satisfied my initials expectations ?
• Would it be easy or difficult the lecture?
4. Before read
• Your expectations were justified?
• Did you accomplish your expectations?
• Did you get a benefit, like save time or arise your knowledge?
• If you read the material for first time, would you change something?

Drools First Step

For this example use Eclipse Juno, Drools 5.4.0

1. Install in Eclipse the drools plug-in 
• Help -> Install new Software 
• Typer in "Work with" http://download.jboss.org/drools/release/5.4.0.Final/org.drools.updatesite/.  That change according with the last version
• Click Add
• Type in "type filter text", Drools
• Select the chechbox 
• Click Finish
2. Create the Drools Workspace 
• File -> Properties 
• Type "Drools" 
• In the window left side -> Configure workspace setting -> Add 
• Select from the uncompressed zip the folder \binaries, in my case "drools-distribution-5.4.0.Final\binaries"
• Click Ok to accept the changes
3. Create a Drools Project to verify
• File -> New Project -> type "Drools"
4. Create a Java class to invoke the rules
• Implement KnowledgeBuilder to parse the DRL files
• Implement KnowledgeBase to compare the object Vs rules
• 
5. Insert some object to evaluate the rules

• 
  

Project First Steps

Develop a project managment plan

I write this as result of taking one Project course and the main points are:

1. Establish the project duration
2. Calendar configuration
• Before start writing the activities configure the calendars to manage the tiem that each team member is going to be have in the project
• Configure the labors hours and hollidays
• Option: Project -> Change work time -> Create calendar
To manage globally the calendars and share between different projects
• Option: File->Information->Calendars->  
• Activity duration is different to the duration of the labor day
3. Activities
• Define the block of activities 
• Select Format -> Schema number,  to list the activities
• Relation between activities
• Finish to Start
• Finish to Finish
• Start to Start
• Start to Finish
• Define Automatic or Manual dependency between activities
• Always work with tasks of the same level
4. Milestone
• Used to define a point of control
• Define dependency between milestones
5. Constraints
• All the activities has to be programed as automatic, if not the type of constrains are unavailable.
1. Deadline.- Before type a deadline will appear a green arrow pointing the date
2. Constraints
1. As late as possible
2. As soon as possible
3. Finish no earlier than
4. Finish no later than
5. Must finish on
6. Must start on
7. Start no earlier than
8. Start no later than
3. Date constraints 
6. Resources
• Use View -> Details
• Formula   Work = Duration * Resources (Unit)
