8. 1.1 Event Driven Programming
Event-driven programming focuses on events
Event-driven programming is a paradigm where entities
(objects, services, and so on) communicate indirectly by
sending messages to one another through an intermediary.
Event:
A signal to the program that something has happened.
9. Cont..
It can be triggered either by external user actions, such as
mouse movements
button clicks, and keystrokes,
by the operating system, such as a timer.
The program can choose to respond to or ignore an event.
10. 1.2 Introduction to Software Development
What is the introduction of software development?
Software development is the process of
conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing
involved in creating and maintaining applications, frameworks, or other software
components.
11. Cont..
Software development is the process programmers use to build
computer programs.
The process, also known as the
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC),
includes several phases that provide a method for building products
that meet technical specifications and user requirements.
12. 1.2.1 Software Development Process
The process vary in the detail of what activities they prescribe,
their related artefacts.(b/c there are many approaches)
However the most common process is
Analysis
Design
Implementation
Testing
Deployment
13. 1.3 Software Development Approaches
the most commonly used software development approaches are
• Waterfall Approach
• Spiral Approach
• RAD
• Agile
• Incremental
• Etc…
14. •Waterfall Approach
• The stages of a project
were carried
out sequentially.
• The entirety of each
stage had to be
completed, formally
documented, discussed,
agreed, and signed off
before the next stage
could begin.
• This has been described
as the waterfall
lifecycle.
15. •Spiral Approach
• is a development method that uses
the same steps as the waterfall
method, but also uses project
cycles, each culminating in a version
of the software (a prototype) that is
formally reviewed to inform the next
cycle.
18. Steps in RAD
Although RAD has changed over the years, these four
basic steps provide some continuity over the years.
1. Define the requirements
2. Prototype -> the actual development takes place.
Instead of following a strict set of requirements
3. Receive Feedback
Feedback on what’s good, what’s not, what works,
and what doesn’t
4. Finalize Software
