Weekly work reporting form

Chunk 2, Module 2 miniproj

Dedicate time to creating a unit converter mini project with a simple user interface. Follow our example geometric shapes program for a guide. When complete, fill out a weekly work form and make an entry in our master tracker on the "UnitConverter" sheet/tab

Unit converter completion target: Monday 5-APR'21

Completion target for Chunk 2, Mod 3 Kennywood Ride Tracker and/or Payment Processor project: Monday 12-APR'21 @ morning light

The module mini projects of creating a Kennywood Ride Tracker tool in Chunk 2, Module 3 is critical and fun. Optionally, you could do the payment processor instead, the formal mini-project if you are feeling confident in your class structure.

Completion target for fundamentals project: Monday 19-APR'21 @ morning light

Bring a packaged food item (i.e. a can of soup, box of pasta, bag of chips) to class on Monday! For Object Modeling!

Step 0: Finish your fundamentals project

The target completion date for the fundamentals project has been extended a week since it seems folks need more time to do a thorough job. Please prepare to share in small groups your fundamentals project on Monday, 26-APR'21

Step 1: Model a Donut or Food Item

Create working code either along with Eric and the class modeling a generic FoodItem or follow Chunk 3, Mod 1 exactly and model a Donut.

Step 1: Work form

Step 1:

Use our Arrays module to create an array of a set of related items of your choosing. Use a for loop to display the items. Extension: create a mini-program that allows the user to enter values and store them in the array. Super cool mini project: Create a way the user can fill up the array, view the array, and EDIT values in the array from the console.

• Install your favorite JVM and IDE: Suggested to use NetBeans 11

Tuesday's TODO for Thursday

Thursday's TODO for next week

1. Create a user interface that allows them to create a list of a desired size, with a desired name, and add elements to that list, and display its contents.
2. Optional Extensions: Create additional methods on CollectedItems such as clearList(), randomlyOrderItems(), or an appropriately named method to rename a given item and show that the change took effect in memory.

TODO for Thursday 4-FEB-21: Create a more useful output as you loop over the multi-dimensional arrays. See comments in the code posted on github from class. Optional: Create a grid-based layout for a multi-dimensoinal array of your own creation.

TODO for Tuesday, 9-FEB: Begin work on our LyricMachine using our sample LyricMachine and SongLand as a guide. Links are two columns left <--

TODO task: Create a github.com account and repository for CIT-130

Submit MD-Array Project

(Revised) Submission target: Thu-18-FEB'21 at morning light

Completion target for Password Project: Thursday, 4-MAR'21

Password project due Thursday, 4-MAR'21 at 0900h

Please upload/push to git and include URL in our tracker on the Passsword Strength tab/sheet

For Thursday, 11-MAR

• Complete writing getters and setters for our private member variables on our object classes
• Create a third subtype of TransportVehicle, such as a balloon or a barge, and make it inherit from the parent, and test that it can be passed into our coputeTravelTimeMethod

For Tuesday 16-MAR'21

1. Study the Liang9 Chapter on Inheritance, Edition 9, Chapter 11
2. You should have created a sub-type for a transport mechanism of your choice. Continue our pattern in the computeTravelTime method in our TransportSafetySimulator class to use instanceof operator and type casting (CastClass) to determine when your subclass is passed in to this method. Test your code to determine that you can in fact cast a TransportVehicle typed object into your chosen subclass (i.e. RaceCar or Balloon, or Barge)
3. If you're excited about inheritance, try creating a new interface specific to your chosen subclass, such as our Derailable interface for trains.

TODO for 18-MAR'21

• Create a LinkedList that stores String objects and popoulate it with an ordered set of events that occur in a favorite film of yours. Test out the add(String s) and add(int i, String s) methods to create custom ordering of your items. Use a ListIterator object to loop over and display.
• Extension Exercise Idea: Rig up a user interface to allow the user to build an action sequence in a LinkedList and can choose where to put each item in the list, and could even be allowed to edit that list.

TODO for 23-MAR'21

1. Tinker with maps by creating key/value pairs of your choosing
2. Create a class called something like TransportSource that can model a location from which our TransportVehicle sublcasses can depart. It will need member variables that can store a bunch of objects waiting to enter the transport siulation. Hint: One of your member variables will be typed List<TransportVehicle>
3. Also design a TransportDestination class to hold vehicles that have undergone the simulation of traveling

TODO for Thu 25-MAR: Read and re-read the specs for our transportation simulator and prepare questions to ask Eric on the Zoom call Thursday so you'll have what you need to code like the wind over spring break.

Target completion date for Transport Simulator: Tuesday, 6-APR'21 at Morning Light

• Choose a movie or game screen that you can model. Take a screen shot and upload to your git repo, and include a link in the master tracker.
• Choose two more components from Liang9 Chapter 17 to integrate into our class GUIEventDemo class that we wrote together.

• Populate your dedicated section in our MVC organizer based on our notes from class on Tue/Thu. Remember: business objects are the "things" your program manipulates. Controller classes store rules or logic associated with your program. And View provides user interfaces.
• Make a wireframe (i.e. a diagram) that shows which Swing components you'll use to recreate the features of your chosen user interface screen. Export your diagram as an image, and upload to our master tracker. See Eric's Rough Sample made with diagrams.net a google drive app

• Convert your GUI wireframe into a working project in Java: use your LIANG-9 Sections as a guide! We want your JFrame with its panels and components loaded by Tuesday 4-MAY so we can wire up event handlers.

• For Thursday, Please upload to your git account WHATEVER code you have written for your GUI project. Remember, if you're stuck, start by getting our sample code working on your system, and upload that with a not in the code comments that most of the contents was written in class. . THEN, please post the URL in our MOVE_GUI sheet tracker.
