Course objectives
Design of Applications and User Interfaces is to introduce students to basic procedures for design of object oriented systems and to fundamentals of event driven programming. The course is focused on the development of simple applications together with their graphic user interface. During this process the object (component) oriented tools and libraries (VCL) are used. The course is based on the Borland Delphi application development environment for MS-Windows NT (2000, XP).
At the end of this course, students should:
know procedures for design of object oriented systems;
know fundamentals of event driven programming;
be acquainted with the Borland Delphi development environment and VCL;
know rules for design of graphic applications user interfaces;
be able to use basic VCL components;
be able to develop MS-Windows applications together with their graphic user interfaces.
Syllabus
  • Event driven programming. The model of MS-Windows program.
  • Object-oriented programming (in Borland Delphi).
  • Objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, objects types compatibility.
  • Integrated development environment, simple applications creation.
  • Borland Delphi and Visual Component Library.
  • Usage of basic components (Menu, Label, EditBox, Button, CheckBox, RadioButton, ComboBox, etc.) and their events.
  • Procedures and functions for graphics operation and device context.
  • Exceptions handling.
  • Program systems construction.
  • Win32 API and its usage in work with VCL.

Assessment methods
Lectures - 2 hours per week (the attendance is optional), class exercises - 2 hours per week (class exercises take place in a computer classroom and the attendance is mandatory, the students also must submit all required homeworks and successfully pass intrasemestral test). Each student has to realize an individual project, i.e. has to code a required program application.
Examination takes place in a computer classroom. During the examination students code a program solving a given problem.
