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)
