Software Development and Testing

...is yet another one of my favourite subjects. Partly I guess because the C# language is so very similar to Python, yet it's different enough to keep you on your toes!

For the first few lessons, as with all of them it was a pretty slow start. With plenty of the tutor talking away and telling us all about the course details and what we will be doing for the year. Once we got past that and she(yup, I said she!) informed us that for the Software Development class we would be using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for the coding we pretty much started cooking with gas.

Our tutor is a Russian lady who apparently has a strong background in Java, but this is her first year teaching C#. She seems to be doing well for the most part.. cause I've learnt a lot! :-D

There has been a lot of theory in the software testing lessons. Which I have tried to take in as best I can, but it's been a little difficult sometimes due to the nature of sitting and listening to someone talk. I've been taking a lot of notes in this class which I hope will help me take it in.

The first thing we did in Software Development was to make a windows form in Visual Studio which is kinda easy, since you just click that option and it makes a blank form for you

Once you have that empty form created, it's pretty easy from there to add a button, you simply hover over the toolbox and drag and drop the button onto your form

No when you hit the debug button, your form will run and it will have a button on it.. sadly nothing will happen when you click the button as there is no code telling it what to show when the button is clicked!

I think I'll leave it there for now and the next post on this subject will tackle how to make the button actually do something!!

See you around and I hope you have enjoyed reading!
