Slide 2

How to Read These Slides These slides are now organized in such a way

as to highlight the most important ones (using green colored headings) and indicate which ones may be considered optional (using red headings)

The “most important” slides are those that contain information to be carefully studied and understood

This information relates to key concepts and terms important to an orderly progression thru the course

The “optional” slides contain information you may want to read at some point in the course, but it is not material that is critical to your understanding of the basic concepts you need to know

Most slides will have blue headings; these should be read carefully and referred to as needed

Slide 3

What’s It All About?

In part, this is a “how to” course But MOSTLY … it is a course where we try

to answer

WHY?

If you really want a “how to” course, this is not going to be it

You will learn the “how to” in lab and on your own – and sometimes in lectures

Slide 4

What’s It All About? (2)

The course is supposed to be FUN It will also be hard work – the less you

recall from CIS 2168 (Java, part 2) the harder this will be. O-O Design and programming are HARD

THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! (But I am not an Ogre – contrary to public opinion)

However I like to encourage questions And I like it better when you answer your

classmates questions You should not let me get away with

anything

Slide 5

What’s It All About? (3)

The name of the game is reuse Reuse of EVERYTHING, from

Design ideas Code snippets Procedural components Class components

HOWEVER … citation is the key GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

For example

Slide 6

Learning?

I hope you will learn something from me Ain’t gonna happen if you do not get

involved You have to do the work If, at the end, you write in my evaluation “he did not teach us anything, I had to

learn it all on my own” …

Well – that is OK with me As long as you learned a lot

The Problem with This Course – Part I

Learning a new programming language (syntax)

Learning how to use a brand new IDE (the .NET IDE) How to navigate around (all its features) Framework class library Other tools

New terminology Introduction to software design techniques Introduction to forms/user interface design

Slide 10

The Problem with This Course – Part II

For first four weeks – chaos and struggle!! I won’t abandon you … BUT

You will be asked to work on 4 Labs (the easy part) and 2 projects

Most of you will not have a clue how to approach the projects – especially the one you will start on today.

I don’t plan to help you unless YOU FIRST get started and begin asking questions

If you do not ask questions I will explain what you need to do, and in some cases, how to

do it – BUT ONLY IF YOU ASK

If you don’t ask, we cannot succeed

If you want a well-structured, step-by-step course, this is NOT IT!

7/31/2008 11:48 AM

Slide 11

The Problem with This Course – Part III

In addition to asking questions, you will need to learn to Read the book Google Talk to other people Work with your partner

You will learn NOT TO copy (plagiarize) Citations of the work of others NO MATTER WHAT YOU LEARN FROM

OTHERS, you need to do YOUR WORK

Slide 12

Course Number and Title

I thought you would never ask Officially

CIS 3309 Component-Based Software Design Move toward new curriculum CIS 3209 and 4309 have been “compressed”

into a new course Now has a new number (3309) Should have a new title

Classroom Etiquette

Multi-tasking Do at your on risk

Adds to inefficiency and STRESS Especially when you end up not following

instructions for HW and Labs If you are not convinced, try this …

http://davecrenshaw.com/tag/multitasking-exercise Lab attendance and class attendance count!

Slide 14

Class Conduct

1. Come on time – within 3 minutes of class time

2. If you are later than that you will miss roll call and not be counted as being present

3. Less reliance on lectures and more on HW, Labs, Quizzes and your presentations (rather than mine)

4. One (or two) exams, and a final 5. The first 12 chapters of the Boehm text

will be covered REALLY quickly 6. Go to web site Labs Lab Schedule to

see 7. You are expected to read the book and

notes

Slide 15

A New Approach – Part I

I’m boring You get bored

I used to lecture using these slides Your buddies fell asleep They got disengaged

So we will start this course with 2 projects Two week “Tic-Tac-Toe” project Four week “ATM” project

You will need to get engaged starting today

7/31/2008 11:48 AM

Slide 16

A New Approach – Part II

You will do all the work The Lab Assistants and I will help you Work on projects outside of class and lab Labs will cover Ch 1-12 mostly in sequence The projects will require you to do research --

throughout Ch 1-12 of the book and maybe elsewhere

Where?

7/31/2008 11:48 AM

Slide 17

A New Approach – Part II

You need to ask questions – or the learning process will not work well

The labs each week are pretty self-contained and illustrate how to do things in a reasonable, sequential manner

You need to read the book to do the labs The rest is up to you …
