The TaskDid we mention that
your programmers are not all located in the same location? In fact, they are
all located in different offices in Ohio: Chardon, Mayfield Heights,
and Solon.
Fortunately, your company is high-tech and
all of the programmers have a high speed connection to the company's intranet.
As you complete this webquest, you will be
posting programming specifications to the company's intranet in the form of
webpages or, on a Wiki. Sure, we could just send the programmers onto the
Internet to do some reading but that wouldn't solve the problem.
YOU have to do the research, synthesize your readings, and post the
standards for this project.
In particular, you must address:
- What programming paradigm (procedural
or object oriented) is best suited for a project of this type?
- What programming language is best for
the paradigm selected?
-
Descriptive naming conventions for constants, variables, and expressions;
- Modular Procedural Standards;
- The "Look and Feel" of your product,
with careful attention given to end user needs;
- Internal and external documentation to
a specific set of standards to ensure clarity and maintainability.
Your job is to do the reading and post
project guidelines addressing the items listed to a website or Wiki. The website
or the Wiki will then be posted to the intranet and referenced by all project
members.
