You'll write short programs that access resources created with ResBuilder. We'll review the process of event queue management via GUIBuilder. The class helps you assess the migration project, define the tools and resources you'll need, and determine if conversion is the right business decision. Window design, tools development, identifying elements of an application that can and should be converted, and principles of software engineering are covered. You will learn how BBx applications can become event driven, the pitfalls to avoid and how to plan conversion.
Emphasis is on planning and managing the project.
Case studies will be used to illustrate key points. Using sample data files, students will conduct performance testing and determine which combination of product is best for their environment. You'll develop data dictionaries for both normalized and non-normalized BBx data files. We will also discuss the JDBC driver.
