1.1 Event Driven Programming
 Event-driven programming focuses on events

 Event-driven programming is a paradigm where entities

 (objects, services, and so on) communicate indirectly by sending

messages to one another through an intermediary.

 Event:

 A signal to the program that something has happened.

8 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022
Cont..
 It can be triggered either by external user actions, such as

 mouse movements

 button clicks, and keystrokes,

 by the operating system, such as a timer.

 The program can choose to respond to or ignore an event.

1.2 Introduction to Software Development
 What is the introduction of software development?

 Software development is the process of

 conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting,

testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining
applications, frameworks, or other software components.

10 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

Cont..
 Software development is the process programmers use to build
computer programs.

 The process, also known as the

 Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC),

 includes several phases that provide a method for building products

that meet technical specifications and user requirements.

11 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

1.2.1 Software Development Process
 The process vary in the detail of what activities they prescribe,
their related artefacts.(b/c there are many approaches)

 However the most common process is

 Analysis
 Design
 Implementation
 Testing
 Deployment

12 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

1.3 Software Development Approaches
 the most commonly used software development approaches are
• Waterfall Approach
• Spiral Approach
• RAD
• Agile
• Incremental
• Etc…

13 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

 •Waterfall Approach
• The stages of a project
were carried
out sequentially.
• The entirety of each
stage had to be
completed, formally
documented, discussed,
agreed, and signed off
before the next stage
could begin.
• This has been described
as the waterfall
lifecycle.

14 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

 •Spiral Approach

• is a development method that uses

the same steps as the waterfall
method, but also uses project
cycles, each culminating in a version
of the software (a prototype) that is
formally reviewed to inform the next
cycle.

Determine objectives
Identify and resolve risks
Develop and test
Plan (the next iteration)

15 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

Reading Assignment
 Incremental approach
 Agile Approach
 Extreme programming
 DevOps Methodology
 Joint Application Development Methodology

16 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

1.4 Rapid application development
 is a development model prioritizes rapid prototyping and quick
feedback over long drawn out development and testing cycles.

 With rapid application development, developers can make multiple

iterations and updates to a software rapidly without needing to start
a development schedule from scratch each time.

17 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

Steps in RAD
 Although RAD has changed over the years, these four basic
steps provide some continuity over the years.
1. Define the requirements
2. Prototype -> the actual development takes place.
 Instead of following a strict set of requirements
3. Receive Feedback
 Feedback on what’s good, what’s not, what works, and
what doesn’t
4. Finalize Software

Cont..
 Advantages of the RAD model
 helps to reduce the risk and required efforts on the part of the
software developer.
 helps the clients to take quick reviews for the project.
 Encourages customer feedback which always provides
improvement scope for any software development project.
 Each phase in RAD delivers the highest priority functionality to the
client.
20 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022
Cont..
 Disadvantages RAD model
 Depends on the strong team and individual performances for clearly identifying
the exact requirement of the business.

 This approach demands highly skilled developers and a designer’s team which
may not be possible for every organization.

 This is not applicable for the developer to use in small budget projects as the cost
of modeling and automated code generation is very high.

 Progress and problems accustomed are hard to track as such there is no

documentation to demonstrate what has been done.

What is .NET Framework?
 .Net Framework is a software development platform developed by Microsoft for
building and running Windows applications.
 The .Net framework consists of developer tools, programming languages, and
libraries to build desktop and web applications.
 It is also used to build websites, web services, and games.
 The .Net framework was meant to create applications, which would run on the
Windows Platform.
 The first version of the .Net framework was released in the year 2002.
 The version was called .Net framework 1.0.

25 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

Cont.…
 .NET Framework Architecture is a programming model for the .Net
platform that provides an execution environment and integration

 Has various programming languages for simple development and

deployment of various Windows and desktop applications.

 It consists of class libraries and reusable components.

26 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

.NET Components
 Common Language Runtime
 CLR is the execution engine that handles running applications.
 It provides services like thread management, garbage collection,
type-safety, exception handling, and more.

 also knows as the runtime.

 CLR’s responsibility is to mange any code written in .NET

languages such as C#, VB.NET, or F#.

27 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

Base Class Library(BCL)
 The Class Library provides a set of APIs and types for common functionality.

 It provides types for strings, dates, numbers, etc.

 The Class Library includes APIs for reading and writing files, connecting to
databases, drawing, and more.

 The .NET Framework includes a set of standard class libraries.

 A class library is a collection of methods and functions that can be used for
the core purpose.

VB.NET Features
• It is an object-oriented programming language
• This language is used to design user interfaces for window, mobile, and
web-based applications.
• It supports a rapid application development tool kit.
• It is not a case sensitive language like other languages such as C++, java,
etc.
• It provides simple events management in .NET application.
• A Window Form enables us to inherit all existing functionality of form
that can be used to create a new form. So, in this way, it reduced the code
complexity.

33 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

 Advantages of VB.NET
• Your code will be formatted automatically.
• You will use object-oriented constructs to create an
enterprise-class code.
• You can create web applications with modern features
like performance counters, event logs, and file system.
• You can connect your applications to other applications
created in languages that run on the .NET framework.
• You will enjoy features like docking, automatic control
anchoring, and in-place menu editor all good for
developing web applications.

34 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

Disadvantages of VB.NET
• VB.NET cannot handle pointers directly.
• This is a significant disadvantage since pointers are much
necessary for programming.
• Any additional coding will lead to many CPU cycles,
requiring more processing time.
• Your application will become slow.

35 Prepared By Haftom B. 10/18/2022

Summary:
• VB.NET was developed by Microsoft.
• It is an object-oriented language.
• The language is not case sensitive.
• VB.NET programs run on the .NET framework.
• In VB.NET, the garbage collection process has been automated.
• The language provides windows forms from which you can inherit your own
forms.
• VB.NET allows you to enjoy the drag and drop feature when creating a user
interface.
