Introduction

Slides: 02 Presentation of the course

Key concepts

We are moving from Object Oriented Model to Component Oriented Model. That allows the reuse of code and to structure a complex application into pieces.

Frameworks

With frameworks we have the Inversion of control: the program flow of control is dictated by the framework instead of by the caller. The framework provide a default behaviour, the programmer just have to override functions and handle events.

  • Software framework: collection of common code providing generic functionality that can be overridden or specialized.
  • Application framework: software framework used to implement the standard application structure for a specific environment.

Examples of frameworks:

  • .NET
  • Android SDK
  • Spring (Java)
  • Cocoa (Apple’s native OO API for MacOS that includes the Objective-C runtime.
  • IDEs
  • MFC: Microsoft Foundation Class Library (C++ GUI)
  • Gnome (Linux GUI library in C)
