Content Structure and Interpretation Analysis

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• OOP is a programming concept that views a program as a collection of interacting objects.
• Objects represent entities with both data (attributes) and actions (methods).
• Instantiation is the process of creating an object from a class.
• UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams are used to visualize objects and their relationships.
  • Diagrams like class diagrams can show relationships between objects.
• Decomposition is used to break down systems into smaller components to reduce complexity.

OOP Features

• Encapsulation hides internal implementation details and protects attributes.
• Inheritance allows for code reuse by creating new classes based on existing ones.
• Polymorphism enables objects of different classes to respond to the same method call in their own specific ways.
  • Modularity improves program development through well-defined components.
  • Libraries provide modular code components.
• OOP includes benefits like reduced dependencies between objects and efficient utilization of code.
• OOP has drawbacks, such as complexity and potential issues with collaboration in software development.

Programming Development

• Classes, identifiers, and variables are part of programming.
• Methods, accessors, mutators, constructors represent actions.
• OOP concepts include private, protected, public, extends, and static.
• Primitive data types and string classes are basic programming tools.
• Code examples demonstrate selection and repetition statements, and array utilization.

Input/Output Class

• The Input/Output class deals with the flow of information into or out of programs.
• input & output are part of this class.

Bookstore Program

• A program designed to manage a bookstore potentially using OOP principles and concepts.

Team Builder System

• System for organizing teams, likely designed using OOP principles and concepts.

System Fundamentals

• System life cycle defines stages of new system development (analysis, design, implementation, operation, maintenance and sometimes backtrack).
  • Figure 1.1 visually exemplifies software life cycle.
  • Software life cycle stages include analysis, design, implementation, operations and maintenance.
• Feasibility study evaluates aspects of a new or changed system (risks, funding, costs and resources).
  • Feasibility study includes input from various stakeholders (financial, market, business, legal, etc).
• Change management refers to shifting departments/organizations from current state to desired state, maximizing benefits and minimizing negative impacts.
• Compatibility issues involve old hardware or software.
• System implementation types include SaaS (Software as a Service - cloud-based) versus on premises software.

Data Migration

• Data migration involves transferring data between different storage types and systems.
  • Data migration can be complex, and involve many steps, to ensure high success rates and ensure that the data migraton isn't compromised.

Testing

• Functional testing confirms correctness of program design.
• Data testing provides various tests (normal, abnormal, extreme) to ensure the software/program works effectively.
• Verification ensures the product matches specifications; validation ensures it meets intended use.
• Different testing types (alpha, beta, dry-run testing) help verify complete functional operation, and detect usability problems.

Software Deployment

• Updates/Patches: fix bugs in software.
• Upgrades: add new features or fix bugs.
• Releases: final versions, which have undergone testing.
  • The life-cycle/process of delivering updates/patches/releases/upgrades is usually automatic if not specified.

System Design Basics

• Computer hardware includes physical parts of a computer.
• Software includes programs and data, and is made up of series of instructions to guide the CPU.
• Peripheral devices include input/output devices connected to a computer.
• Computer network systems are interconnected and share resources.
• Human resources are the people involved in an organization.

Roles in a Networked World

• Client (requests service from other networked resources).
• Server (provides service to other networked resources).
• Email server handles email traffic.
• DNS server converts human-readable domain names to IP addresses.
• Router forwards data packets between networks based on addresses.
• Firewall controls network access, preventing unauthorized connections.

Social and Ethical Issues

• Societal impact includes issues like digital divide, cyber-bullying and privacy concerns. -Ethical consideration: impacts of using AI, social/cultural issues, environmental concerns, and data security, privacy and ownership.
• Ethical issues include ensuring data/information security from unauthorized access and cyber-attacks or cyberbullying.
• Technology and human interaction can sometimes result in negative consequences or adverse impacts (social effects, ethical impacts, etc).
• Societal/ethical concerns might include how a company or organization should behave in an IT space.

System Design

• Obtain requirements from stakeholders (various methods).
• System flowcharts illustrate system operation.
• Data flow diagrams trace the flow of data through a system.
• Structure charts illustrate hierarchical relationships between system components.
• Prototypes help in understanding/testing design before full design is complete.
• Iteration is important for design.
