Method development vs Method validation?
478954
Think of it like this:\n\nDevelopment - designing & building the prototypes\n\nValidation - testing in-house and sending protptypes to different places for testing\n\nA google.com search will give you dozens of sites with the details

I'd dump it into a compiler and do it for you but you left too much out.  Impossible to return a syntax error free version without the whole program.\n\nAnyways, I get paid for this.  How many points is this worth?  ...to do someone's homework for him?  Or maybe he's doing contract work!  He's getting $70 and hour to let us do it for him!

The tradeoffs are always the same when implementing types or subtypes when creating anything..logical or not, schema or not.....it's all a means to an end that is an effect based on cause...

If you are creating a chatting software like yahoo or msn messenger, then c# is ok if you know it well.I used Visual Basic and Visual C++. They are way lot easier. And The main problem with these softwares is that they need constant updating and debugging. So Give VB or VC++ a try ok as they are relatively easier to code and hence update and debug.

I love netbeans, it has anumber of built in features that aide in app development. Code completion, cvs, refactoring,etc... You may also want to check out eclipse and Sun Studio.  I know  for sure sun studio also adds a UML editor which is pretty clever since it also allows you to generate java code from the UML diagrams

If you have a flow chart (as you should have), you could break the whole project down and have a larger number of team members work on subroutines or modules independently. You just have to have an agreed convention of GUI,  passing variables, and error trapping.

This one is kind of like the metric one, but a bit broader, and it can be as technical as you want it to be - standards. Are standards developed by experts better than those that happen spontaneously? Are standards developed in a closed environment with a lot of control on the input better than those developed out in the open where anyone can contribute? Can anyone truly own a standard - is it ethical? What makes a standard?\n\nThere are many more. I'm sure you get the idea.\nAs with many of my others, I contributed this answer because I read the question and wasn't particularly satisfied with many of the answers. Also, I wrote something about debating not so long ago that you might find interesting (see source #1). I also wrote something about standards not too long ago (the other sources), and since then, a lot of the issues I've heard or read about are related in some way to standards - what make's them, whose we should use, etc..\n\nSo the fact I didn't have to do any research was a benefit :-)\n\n\n(Note, my "sources" are rants. They are probably the worst things to cite on a paper or in a debate.)

Briefly, there are Anonymous Methods, Iterators, Partial Classes, and Generics. I think Generics is the best new feature in C# 2.0 because it gives you more flexibility (like templates in C++) and it's a lot easier to share the same code for many different tasks.

Do you mean the framework, or the common runtime language?

This is a very difficult question to really answer correctly. According to Godel's incompleteness theorem, a system is either complete or inconsistent. Although Godel proved it for the natural numbers, i have taken the liberty of using it as an analogy for software systems.\n\nA practical way to proceed is to test throughout the life cycle and to correct errors. As the software gets used and errors get fixed, (without introducing new errors), it becomes more reliable. The existence of various software environments (different operating systems, transaction monitors, database systems, interfaces to other applications and services, etc.) complicates matters. Particlarly when you have little knowledge and/or control over the environmental systems and software.\n\nSo what to do about the initial and subsequent releases. One way is to classify errors into severe, medium and minor. The classification depends on the application and impact of the application. Then have a release policy depending on the number and type of errors detected in testing.\n\nTo illustrate, consider the following applications:\n\nreal time flight control software for a passenger aircraft, passenger reservation software for airlines or trains, on-line stock trading software, word processing software, chat and email software.\n\nClearly the societal impact of errors in the above applications differs considerably.\n\nSome organizations also use quantitative models to predict residual-error distributions based on on-going test results.\n\nTesting, maintenance and support are part of the software life cycle and i think its very difficult to say "i've tested enough", simply because it's difficult to define "enough".\n\nTo build and maintain good software you need good requirements and analysis, good design which is maintainable and testable, good practices, good tools, good environments, good infrastructure, good communication and most of all good people.

<Ruby on Rails> do you calling this a web programming,script???\nWell ASP is good,but it's little unpowerful\n\nPHP is better than ASP./More secure,more powerful,more faster and much more!/

This is not a direct question, its a complete development effort, so I'm only going to say that for me RUP is the best approach.\nBy the way if this is a real-life problem why don't you try sharepoint and office 2003 instead of writing it :)

it's just the standardized method of ensuring good data. Without the scientific method the results wouldnt be as reliable. The more we get the same results the more we can say with accuracy why something is happening.

It depends on your environment and needs. If there is no compelling reason for you to use classic ASP I recommend using .Net 2.0 from an availability of resources & supportability perspective. The majority of OS and web server tools required to run ASP 3.0 are going to become completely desupported shortly\n\nFrom a productivity perspective the .Net development goes substantially faster. It isn't that difficult to pick up since the IDE provides a significant amount of assistance.

Waterfall is just one of the SDLC. There are more advanced methodologies, such as Agile, Xtreme Programming, and Rational Unified Process (by IBM). \nWaterfall itself now is not so popular and can't answer nowadays challenge of enterprise software development.

- Yes it is there.\n- But not for general use.\n- You have define your rules and get it written from software developers.\n- Call me if you want one.\n---------------------
