Topics Not Covered in Class These won't be on exam, but are useful to know. |
|---|
| [State Machines](topics/Programming a State Machine.pdf) and "*[programming without if](https://www.google.co.th/search?q=programming+without+if)*". [slides](topics/State-Machine.pdf) [UML State Machine Diagram](topics/State-Machine-Diagram.pdf) |
| [Assertions](java-intermed/Assertions.pdf) a method should document its precondtions (requirements) and postconditions. The Java [assert](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/language/assert.html) command lets you test preconditioins in code, with no runtime overhead in the final product. Microsoft found that adding assertions during development greatly reduced bugs. |
| [Inner Classes](java-intermed/Inner-Classes.pdf) rules for inner and nested classes. |
|
[Database](database/) directory contains some introductory slides.
[Introduction to Databases](database/1-Database-Introduction.pdf)
[Database Software](database/2-Database-Software.pdf) included embedded and client-server databases
[Using JDBC](database/3-Using-JDBC.pdf) this is **not** recommended, but for background knowledge. ORM is usually much better.
[Persistence and ORM](database/4-Persistence-OR-Mapping.pdf) intro to object-relation mapping, which lets you save and retrieve *objects* rather than just fields
ORMLite Example using ORMLite and H2 to save contacts to a database. README file explains concepts. |
