3	Lab 3	Sep 16,19,22 Readings Classes and Objects , you should review Classes, Objects, More on Classes. Interfaces and Inheritance What Is Inheritance? What Is an Interface? Arnold's Lecture Files Notes and w03.zip as an IntelliJ Project. You should OPEN this project, not import etc. in IntelliJ. Marc's Lecture Files w03_101.zip Unzip, and you should OPEN w03 subfolder as IntelliJ project, NOT import. References Notes on OO Programming
4	Lab 4	Sep 23,26,29 Readings Object Oriented Design Principles Arnold's Lecture Files w04.zip as an IntelliJ project w04new.zip as an IntelliJ project. Inheritance, Abstract, and Interfaces re-done with shapes. Marc's Lecture Files w04_101.zip Upzip, and then w04 sub-folder can be opened in IntellilJ Reference The JavaFX Tutorial
5	Lab 5	Sep 30, Oct 3, Oct 6 Readings Arnold's Lecture Files Generics: w04.zip as an IntelliJ project (see generics package) GUI Programming: gui.zip as an IntelliJ project The JavaFX Tutorial javafx: Application, Stage, Scene (from the JavaFX tutorial) logical layout VBox, HBox, Grid, Border a walk through of JAVAFX and Buttons, the hierarchy that Buttons are a part of and Buttons ButtonBase and registering ActionEvents handlers via setOnAction Node and registering event handlers with them, see setOnXXX methods. how to create an event handler by implementing the required interface. In HiBye We handled ButtonClicks by defining HiByeEventHandler and then registering it with the Button. The lifecycle of an event, so... Button is clicked Button creates an ActionEvent instance event Button calls all event handlers registered, calling handle(event) Event handler does its job Examples from gui.zip GUI Programming, layouts: LayoutVH, LayoutGrid, LayoutComplex Event Driven programming, HiBye and HiByeEventHandler, HiByeMouseHandler Marc's Lecture Files w05_101.zip Upzip, and then w05 sub-folder can be opened in IntellilJ Reference The JavaFX Tutorial References Javafx api JavaFX Event Handling (this uses lambdas etc. to define event handlers).
6	Lab 6	Oct 6, Oct 7, Oct 10 Readings Arnold's Lecture Files w05.zip as an IntelliJ project designpatterns.zip as an IntelliJ project. We covered Observer/Observable w06observer.zip the Observer/Observable code I wrote on Tuesdays class Marc's Lecture Files w05_101.zip W6 material was posted in W5 package Note that due to Labour Day, we compressed 6 weeks of material in 5 weeks of lectures. Reference The JavaFX Tutorial Design patterns Effective use of the OO Paradigm. Using the patterns results in flexible, malleable, maintainable code. It usually allows plug and play additions to existing code. It is like a good algorithms book is to procedural programming languages. It gives developers a vocabulary to talk about recurring class organizations. Now when you look at a class diagram, and parts are labelled with certain patterns, you can better understand the relationships between the classes. Observer/Observable Observer/Observable design pattern Observer/Observable design pattern NOTE: There is an error in the UML diagram, ConcreteObservableA and ConcreteObservableB should be ConcreteObserverA and ConcreteObserverB. In Java (the api): Observer, Observable MVC We covered the roles of Model, View and Controller and how they interact. That The goal is Separation of concerns Making code more flexable, so to add features, add views and controllers Ability for teams to collaborate on code Code reuse, so for example, the Model can be re-used in different applications MVC From Sun Microsystems Examples from w05.zip Balloon (Model), TextView (View), KeyboardController (Application and Controller) GUIApp1 (Application), Balloon (Model), TextView (View), ButtonInflateEventHandler (Controller) GUIApp2 (Application), Balloon (Model), GUIView (View), ButtonInflateEventHandler (Controller) GUIApp3 (Application), Balloon (Model), GUIView2 (View), ButtonInflateEventHandler (Controller) Scrum References MVC If interested MVC vs MVP. UML What are Design Patterns. You can take a look at the specific design patterns below in this reference as well. Refactoring Guru A Catalog of Design Patterns Singleton; More on Singleton Iterator; More on Iterator, and in Java (the api) Iterator, Iterable
7	Lab 7	Oct 14,17,20 Readings Iterator; More on Iterator, and in Java (the api) Iterator, Iterable Factory Design Pattern Strategy Design Pattern Command Design Pattern Composite Design Pattern GIT, Using branches GIT, Comparing Workflows Arnold's Lecture Files Scrum Code examples in designpatterns.zip This week we covered Singleton, Iterator, Simple Factory (not Factory Method, Abstract Factory). Git merge conflicts gitMergeNotes.txt and gitBranchNotes.txt Marc's Lecture Files w06_101.zip Note that week 7 for Marc's lecture is actually LEC101's 6th week of classes.
8	Lab 8	Oct 20,23,24 Readings This week we will have a guest lecture discussing Accessibility in software development. To prepare please review Ability Based Design and Principles of Universal Design Strategy Design Pattern Command Design Pattern Composite Visitor SOLID Principles Arnold's Lecture Files Code examples in designpatterns.zip This week we covered Strategy, Command and possibly Composite. Marc's Lecture Files Code examples in w07_101.zip (Note that due to Thanksgiving, LEC101 is 1 week behind in lectures, hence this being labeled as Week 7 material in Week 8) This week we covered Iteration, Singleton, Strategy, and Command.
