Lecture #13 - Interface Segregation Principle

Web Resources:

Office Hours: Instructor & TAs

Content:

1. Syllabus
   Describes topics to be covered, reading material for you to digest before coming to class, and due dates for the assigned projects.
2. Project #2
   Graph data type.
3. XMLParsing or XMLTran
   Two modules that do basic XML handling - building XML strings and pulling them apart. They do not understand XML namespaces or schemas. Either on will work for the parsing part of Project #2.
4. Project #2 Help
   
5. The Dependency Inversion Principle
   Components should depend on abstractions, not other components.
6. Programming to Interfaces Presentation
   Discusses interfaces, layers, factories, and breaking design, compile, and static link dependencies.
7. Object Factory Project
   This project implements a factory that allows clients to use derived classes but only bind to their abstractions. It also demonstrates the use of products with multiple interfaces.
8. Programming to Interface Project
   This project implements a template-based "pluggable object factory" and shows how to access members of a hierarchy through an interface.
9. Dynamic Link Library Project
   This project demonstrates that compile and static link dependencies can be broken by programming to interfaces and using object factories.
10. Run-Time Type Indentification Presentation
    RTTI is, perhaps, the antithesis of the Open/Closed Principle. Paradoxically, I used it building the trace class.
11. Interface Segregation Principle
    Discusses why you may need to provide more than one interface for a component.
12. Exceptions Presentation
    
13. Basic Exceptions Demo
    
14. Standard Exceptions Demo
    
15. Exception Performance Demo
    
16. Design Presentation
    Summarizes design issues for modules and classes.
17. Design Rules
    Design rules and idioms that transcend Object Oriented Design.
18. Lecture #13 folder
    Contains a page of links to presentations and code discussed in this class. The Lecture folders will occasionally hold physical files of interest as well. Usually, however, all the materials of interest to the class are in the presentations and code folders. The contents of these folders will grow as you progress through the course.
