>> Go directly to the Courses Management System <<
My lectures mainly concern:
The courses I teach (as leader or participant) are the following:
Most of the teaching materials is now available on this area (a courses management system). If you have suggestions, I really appreciate your feedbacks, comments...Don't hesitate !
The Cultural Unification": Jeong-hwa Lee (artist)
Think about thinking, learn about learning
Except for several lectures for which I give all of the resources (slides, documentation, exercice responses,...), I am no more enthousiastic to provide all slides, etc. Well, it's not a way of life no more a religious decision but...As I observe, students do not know/want (more) take notes, do not know think about slides contents and have no real motivation to search documentation by their own. It's quite a pity but that's it.
Recommandations for students: please, read books, read white-papers, search documentation in library, bookstore (even using google but be carefull !), ask me for references and bibliographies, and...be curious, don't wait for us, don't wait for a mysterious help. Learning is one of better thing in the life :-)I make frequently changes in my lectures according to audience and other considerations like students feedbacks, colleagues feedbacks, personal research and readings and computer science, IT evolution and progress. It is up to you remaining in touch with the last release of courses resources.
For colleagues wishing to obtain complete version of slides, just send me an email.Students: I really appreciate your contribution and feedbacks by filling this form (1 or 2) ,and return it back to me either electronically, either by putting it in my mail box. Printed forms are also available at the IMUS Technologie et Management secretary. If there are volunteers to develop or re-use an on-line web-based application for managing courses evaluation...well I'am very interested !
An Information System (IS) is a software sensitive system but not necessary a software system ! Very often, a software-based system supports partially an information system (because information system - information - is not entirely automated - i.e. humains cannot be automated): as consequence, a computer-based (software-based) system is part of an information system;
OOD vs. OOP: as OO Design focuses on how to design problems using objects (all is object), independently of computer, OO Programming deals with other considerations specific to computers (i.e. OO program stuctures, specific OOP data structures, memory management - if relevant -, files system, I/O, devices, control structures,...);
like some other disciplines, programming cannot be (just) a theorical discipline; I always recommend to practice, do exercices, do again same exercices in order to be more fluent in programming. Programming is not especially difficult, no more it is reserved to alien guys. The deal is: how long you are willing to spend ?
programming is like art ? Well there are many papers on this subject. Software engineering is a scientific discipline that tries to bring methods, approaches, means in order to manage, control, organize...improve software production.
