Software Developer VS Software Engineer

Many times people get confused between Software Engineer and Software Developer, maybe because of similar occupation names. However, they are different, their work is different, and their professionalism is different. The difference is like between Security Guard and Bodyguard, both are called security but their work is different. Let us understand the difference between them:

·        Who is a Software Engineer?

A person who applies the philosophy of software engineering to develop, maintain, design, test, and evaluate computer software is known as a Software Engineer.

·        Who is a Software Developer?

A person who builds software with writing code from scratch, which runs across various types of computer is known as a Software Developer. The application could be Desktop app, Mobile app, and Web app.

·        What are the few challenges faced by a Software Engineer and Software Developer?

Software Engineer:

Ø  More increasing demand in the market.

Ø  Dealing with complexity of software always demands new applications.

Ø  Assortment of software systems should be communication with each other.

Software Developer:

Ø  Misinterpreted user requirements.

Ø  Not able to deal with changing requirements.

Ø  Low quality of software.

·  Differentiating Developers and Engineers:

Engineers are team-oriented building tools for software which later are built as applications, whereas Developers are the ones writing the entire program codes on their own. Developers use software tools made by engineers.

·   The world depends on Software’s in today’s era. Both, Software Engineer and Software Developer are important in their particular field. If one cannot build tools to create software, then others cannot write codes to develop applications. We @Cloudploys build applications as per your needs and desires. We @Cloudploys provide best applications built by talented, skilled, and experienced developers. We @Cloudploys are motivated by the desire to achieve. Stay tuned for more information.

Speckle – 3D open source platform

Speckle – 3D open source platform 

What is Speckle?

Speckle is an open source data platform for the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry to share the ideas and designs of a project into 3D data with others.

What is the AEC industry?

A – Architecture designs the infrastructure

E- Engineering includes civil engineers who oversee construction and maintenance

C – Construction plays a role of coordinating skilled workers and contractors

What is the story behind Speckle?

Speckle is an early-stage start-up based in London. There are two founders, both are Architects and Engineers. It enables them to understand and identify the issue regarding exchange of 3D files from vendors in the AEC industry. They wanted to make it easier by developing an open source platform where they can exchange and collaborate these files.

As engineers, Dimitri Stefanescu and Matteo Cominetti had the skill to start finding the problems and solutions in the AEC industry. They decided to sort out long-standing problems in the AEC industry around sharing proprietary files involving designs and building projects. Speckle provides a process through which it is easier for companies to share information in 3D formats. 

How does Speckle work?

Supposedly, user 1 created a design on Speckle platform. Each user’s various streams are stored by the Speckle online platform, which also refreshes the streams automatically in real time when users make modifications. Therefore, user 2, 3, 4, 5…., etc., can see the design created by user 1, and if the changes are made, it will be uploaded to the server and other users will know what was updated. Using Speckle, Architects, Engineers or Constructors do not have to create the same and same designs repeatedly. If someone has created the designs before, it would have been stored in the server.

Speckle is one of the best online sharing open source platforms. It helps save time for Architects to design the same pattern again. Speckle is also a developer platform on which you can harvest 3D data and use it for productive things like building applications that makes it easier to work with.
