1 Foreword

The implementation of an information system is not a trivial task. We requirea strong set of human resources in order to complete such projects. Thus,

the preparation of such human resource is an important phase of theproject. Additionally, human resource is by far the most precious asset of

any organization. Recognizing that, any human resource improvement

project should not be neglected.

In order to implement our Buncis system, we need to prepare enoughhuman resources for its implementation, deployment and maintenance.

Furthermore, more analysts and programmers will be required for additional

redevelopment of the system.

This document describes the proposed strategies for a training program to

prepare our human resource in order to implement the Buncis system. Itserves to define the goals, outline the materials required, and the expected

outcome of the training.

2 Goals

Goals must be set on any project in order to direct its process and evaluate

its progress. Good goals exhibit the SMART properties; they are Specific,Measurable, Attainable, Reasonable, and Targeted. The following is a goal

that I propose in this project.

The goal of the training program is to produce human resources with enough

quantity and skills in order to implement the Buncis system.

This goal needs to be refined further so that it fulfills the SMART properties.

It needs to be measurable and targeted. That is, we need to define howmany people that we need, how are we going to assess the quality of them,

and also how long the training program should take.

3 Prerequisites

Any moderate and advanced training programs require to assume somethingin their participants. This is due to the fact that these programs build on top

of the already-acquired skills. Thus, the input variance must be minimized.Even better when it can be assumed that the participants have mastered a

certain level of minimal skills.

Our training program is not an exception of that fact. We need quality in our

input. The following are suggestions of the requirements imposed on thetrainees.


4/6




3.1 General Requirements Willing to learn and has the ability to learn fast.

Willing to commit in the implementation of Buncis. Self-motivated and able to function under minimal supervision.

Hard working and quality-oriented he or she must be willing to fulfill

more than the minimal requirements requested.3.2 Technical Requirements Knows computer programming in at least two programming languages.

This is to ensure that he or she has mastered the basic concepts of

programming such that learning a third language will not be a problem. Understand object-oriented programming concepts. Since we are going

to implement Buncis in Java, understanding of OOP concepts will ease

the transition. Understand the applications ofdatabase system concepts. Any

information systems software is essentially a database application. Thus,

its underlying concept needs to be mastered. Understand the concept ofmarkup languages. XML is planned to be a

significant part of Buncis. While learning XML is not too difficult, basic

understanding of markup languages will prove useful.

4 Training Subjects

This section describe the subjects that Buncis programmers need to learn.

By mastering these subjects, it is expected that they will have enough skillsto begin implementing the system.

4.1 Primary Subjects4.1.1 General Java Programming

Because the participants have already known programming, the materials

will primarily serve as a transition phase from their previous programminglanguage. They will be given an overview of the Java programming language

and object-oriented concepts.

Since the participants have understood the concepts, the materials will

primarily focus on the syntax and other Java-specific aspects. Additionally,they will be provided with an overview of the tools available to create Javaprograms, both server side programs and end-user applications.

4.1.2 Web programming: JSP and Servlets

Participants will be able to apply their Java programming skills to server-

based environments. They will learn how to program server-sideapplications using the Java Servlet standard.


5/6




Using Java Server Pages, participants will be able to program web and web-

like applications (such as WAP applications). They should then understand

the restrictions imposed by the stateless nature of the HTTP protocol.

Through these subjects it is expected that the participants will understandthe rigor required to program server-based applications and the differences

to programming regular PC application software. Typically, server

applications have no direct user interface and must be able to serve multipleusers concurrently.

4.1.3 Structured Query Language (SQL)

Materials on SQL should be designed such that not only the participants are

able to say SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, etc. But they will understand the

concepts of relational databases. Using such knowledge, they will be able todesign an efficient database schema and perform database manipulation

tasks using SQL.

4.1.4 Database programming: JDBC

Using JDBC, the participants will be able to apply their relational databaseskills to Java programs. They will be able to program Java-based database

applications using the embedded SQL feature offered by JDBC.

4.1.5 Unified Modeling Language (UML)

Invariably, programmers have to understand system specification

documents in order to create programs. Since UML is the most currentwidely-used diagraming standard in software system design, participants

will need to understand the concepts behind it along with its syntax andsemantics.

4.2 Secondary Subjects4.2.1 Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Today XML is the most versatile markup language available. Apart from

document storage and retrieval, XML is also used in communicationsbetween heterogeneous systems.

It is very probable that Buncis will extensively employ XML. One use is fordocument storage and retrieval. Since we expect that Buncis will evolve to

be accessible to WAP-enabled mobile devices, the Buncis user interface will

need to be in expressible in XML.

Participants will learn what XML is along with its concepts. They will learnhow to create and manipulate XML documents, and use the various tools

available around XML. These concepts and tools include XML stylesheets,

XML parsers, and XML document type definitions (XML DTDs).


6/6




4.2.2 Using XML Parsers

Participants will know how to program applications that creates and process

XML documents. Programming libraries targeted at that task are collectivelyreferred to as XML parsers.

One of the well known parser for Java is Xerces-J, developed by the Apache

Software foundation and freely available at http://xml.apache.org.

Participants will learn to program using this parser. They will also need tounderstand the Document Object Model (DOM) and the Simple API for XML

(SAX) concepts behind it.

4.2.3 Design Patterns

Since software development is now a more mature subject, common best-

practices techniques have been established. These techniques are calleddesign patternsand is very similar in concept to the patterns applied in other

disciplines, such as architecture and arts.

Participants will need to learn these patterns and identify those that areincluded in the design of Buncis. By understanding the patterns, they will

be able to correctly implement the design.
