Tutors and Demonstrators
Ron Poet
This project involves developing a system of programs to manage
the tutors and demonstrators employed by the department. It will
be developed using Visual C++. It will be similar to many commercial
programs in that it has a GUI front end, a relational database back
end, and some application logic gluing the bits together. The software
engineering will have the following features:
-
Several different dialogs, built with the Visual C++ dialog
design tools.
-
Several different relational tables, accessed from the program
via the ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) interface and the
DAO (Database Access Object) classes.
-
The document - view architecture will be used to provide the
intermediate code. The Visual C++ browser and interactive
debugger will be used to write the code.
The final software package will be able to enter new tutors and
demonstrators, create new labs, draw up contracts for staff and
record timesheet information. It would also be good to be able to
give each tutor and demonstrator a list of all the times that
they will be working.
Training will be provided in Visual C++ and related technologies.
