The
Process
Within your class, you should
share some printouts from a recent programming assignment from 2 or 3
other students. As you look at the printouts, consider how their
programming styles differ from your own. Therein lies the problem to
be resolved. How do you define a standard that will be used by every
member of your development team?
Go to a computer and run a
couple of the other programs. Do you notice that some pieces of
software "look and feel" different from others? Part of software
design is definitely the user interface. You want your project to be
consistent throughout and user friendly.
The following Internet
resources contain excellent background materials for your project.
However, not all of of it is 100% applicable for your project. Do
your reading carefully, understand what it is you want your
programmers to do and post your results in a clear, succinct manner
on a webpage or collaborative Wiki. Some of the technical documents should give
you a sense
of how to create a document with such heavy technical
details.
