The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) - University of London

Brunei Gallery

The Brunei Gallery is an exciting venue situated in the heart of London. Located

between Malet Street and Thornhaugh Street in the North West corner of Russell

Square. It is only a three minute walk from the British Museum and is opposite the

main entrance to the School of Oriental and African Studies building.

From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development>

Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the

repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes a failing

automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then

produces code to pass that test and finally refactors the new code to acceptable

standards. Kent Beck, who is credited with having developed or 'rediscovered' the

technique, stated in 2003 that TDD encourages simple designs and inspires

confidence.[1]

Test-driven development is related to the test-first programming concepts of extreme

programming, begun in 1999,[2] but more recently has created more general interest

in its own right.[3]

Programmers also apply the concept to improving and debugging legacy code

developed with older techniques.[4]

From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93View%E2%80%93Controller>

Model–View–Controller (MVC) is a software architecture,[1] currently considered an architectural pattern used in software engineering. The pattern isolates "domain logic" (the application logic for the user) from the user interface (input and presentation), permitting independent development, testing and maintenance of each (separation of concerns).

Overview

Though MVC comes in different flavors, control flow is generally as follows:The user interacts with the user interface in some way. (for example, presses a mouse button).The controller handles the input event from the user interface, often via a registered handler or callback and converts the event into appropriate user action, understandable for the model.The controller notifies the model of the user action, possibly resulting in a change in the model's state. (For example, the controller updates the user's shopping cart.)[4]

A view queries the model in order to generate an appropriate user interface (for example, the view lists the shopping cart's contents). The view gets its own data from the model. In some implementations, the controller may issue a general instruction to the view to render itself. In others, the view is automatically notified by the model of changes in state (Observer) which require a screen update.The user interface waits for further user interactions, which restarts the cycle.

from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control>

Revision control, also known as version control or source control (and an aspect of

software configuration management or SCM), is the management of changes to

documents, programs, and other information stored as computer files. It is most

commonly used in software development, where a team of people may change the

same files. Changes are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the

"revision number", "revision level", or simply "revision". For example, an initial set of

files is "revision 1". When the first change is made, the resulting set is "revision 2",

and so on. Each revision is associated with a timestamp and the person making the

change. Revisions can be compared, restored, and with some types of files, merged.

Version control systems (VCSs - singular VCS) most commonly run as stand-alone

applications, but revision control is also embedded in various types of software such

as word processors (e.g., Microsoft Word, OpenOffice.org Writer, KWord, Pages, etc.),

spreadsheets (e.g., Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice.org Calc, KSpread, Numbers, etc.),

and in various content management systems (e.g., Drupal, Joomla, WordPress).

Integrated revision control is a key feature of wiki software packages such as

MediaWiki, DokuWiki, TWiki etc. In wikis, revision control allows for the ability to

revert a page to a previous revision, which is critical for allowing editors to track each

other's edits, correct mistakes, and defend public wikis against vandalism and spam.

From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_management_system>

A Database Management System (DBMS) is a set of computer programs that controls

the creation, maintenance, and the use of a database. It allows organizations to place

control of database development in the hands of database administrators (DBAs) and

other specialists. A DBMS is a system software package that helps the use of

integrated collection of data records and files known as databases. It allows different

user application programs to easily access the same database. DBMSs may use any of

a variety of database models, such as the network model or relational model. In large

systems, a DBMS allows users and other software to store and retrieve data in a

structured way. Instead of having to write computer programs to extract information,

user can ask simple questions in a query language. Thus, many DBMS packages

provide Fourth-generation programming language (4GLs) and other application

development features. It helps to specify the logical organization for a database and

access and use the information within a database. It provides facilities for controlling

data access, enforcing data integrity, managing concurrency, and restoring the

database from backups. A DBMS also provides the ability to logically present

database information to users.

From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUI>

A graphical user interface (GUI), often pronounced gooey,[1] is a type of user

interface that allows users to interact with programs in more ways than typing such

as computers; hand-held devices such as MP3 players, portable media players or

gaming devices; household appliances and office equipment with images rather than

text commands. A GUI offers graphical icons, and visual indicators, as opposed to

text-based interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation to fully represent the

information and actions available to a user. The actions are usually performed

through direct manipulation of the graphical elements.[2]

The term GUI is historically restricted to the scope of two-dimensional display screens

with display resolutions capable of describing generic information, in the tradition of

the computer science research at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). The term GUI

earlier might have been applicable to other high-resolution types of interfaces that

are non-generic, such as videogames, or not restricted to flat screens, like volumetric

displays.[3]
