[Jeyakumaran Chandrasegaram]

Tentative plan .. advice guys

Also senior J2EE folks .. volunteer yourself on which module you gonna take up to train us...

1) Introduction to Java web programming.
-- Servlet
-- JSP
-- MVC and Mediation

2) Tutorial on JSF
-- Simple helloworld JSF tutorial
-- Explaining how ySchool is organised
-- implementing a simple feature in ySchool

3) Tutorial on JPA/Hibernate
-- Introduce to simple JDBC/MySQL inorder to making sure the DB issues are sorted out
-- Introduce the ORM concept, simple JPA modeling.
-- Implement a DB binding for yschool

4) Peer review, pair programming and unit test
-- Students review each other's code, write unit test.

5) Source control, build environment and unit tests
-- Explain the source control

2) Attendees should have

2. Download maven 3.0.4 from apache repository and extract to a selected location

3. Download net beans 7.1 with java EE features and install it

4. Download and install tomcat

3) Every week we will have simple assignments. Attendees will have create a github project called yschool-mini-<name> and commit their version in every week.

4) The most outstanding yschool-mini-<name> project will be awarded a price and the owner will become a committer to ySchool!

5) I excluded design and requirements aspect as its not something people can learn over a training session.

Any other ideas guys? Also have I miss anyone .. if you send suggestions . we can modify the agenda and finalise it today .. we are planning to kick start it this Saturday!

a)      Coding standards and coding discipline

b)      The importance of software quality

Fair enuf Bala ...

Coding standard is covered in week5 .. it makes sense to bring it forward .. will do 

software quality ... that's not something I can't learn from a course .. and way too early for a beginner to teach about quality ... and during the session, we all gonna emphasis on the standards we gonna follow .. so it is covered in a way anyway. 

[Bala]

@JK

 

By software quality I mean the end user experience i.e. error free, user friendly, etc  software. There are many more aspects to this, hence it cannot be achieved through a single coding standard session.

 

It would very foolish for me to expect someone new to development to learn everything related to software quality in a 1-2 hour session.

My whole point is, you need to make them understand the importance of it now and let them assimilate it gradually as they  become experienced software engineers in time. There could be no better time than now to make them have a feel for software quality.

 

I guess the whole purpose of this exercise (yschool) other than rolling the product out  is to give these young boys and girls a holistic experience of software development and nurturing them into good software engineers than just code crunchers.

JK, 

How do you intend to have 2 sessions per week. 

First session time slot, I think we can confirm to be from 9 AM to 10. 30 AM SL time on 21st April 2012.

Thank you,

regards,

Sayanthan
