Exception Handling (Chapter 13)

This week we will cover Exception Handling (Chapter 13). Please read through and review the end of Chapter 12 on Interfaces beginning on page 553.

We will test what we have learned by creating a program that demonstrates a method with its own Try / Catch block as detailed in exercise 13.8 on page 610.

This exercise is due in class next Thursday, March 31, 2011.

Don't Forget::

How do I keep the Console from closing after I build my program?
Add Console.ReadLine() at the end of Main.

Chapter 12: OOP Polymorphism

This week we will discuss Polymorphism as it is covered in Chapter 12 of the text.

The assignment in conjunction with this chapter is  Exercise 12.9, Payroll System Modification, on page 577. This assignment is due in two weeks on Thursday, March 24, 2011.  Please upload all assignment files in Blackboard by March 24, 2011. 

OOP Inheritance, Oh Yeah

To get back into the swing of things after our <insert sarcasm here> warm and refreshing "Spring Break" </insert sarcasm here>, we will look at Chapter Eleven's coverage of Inheritance. No, this is not the kind of, grandma left me all her money and knitting needles, Inheritance, rather, it would be the shove your head back into the world of programming, Inheritance. 

So without further ado, the assignment to be completed in conjunction with today's discussions will be Exercises 11.4, and 11.5 on page 527, in which you will write to me about all of the reasons to use Inheritance (11.4), and also create a UML class diagram (11.5).

Both exercises are due in class next Thursday, March 10, 2011. Please submit both of them via Blackboard as a zipped file.
