Week 4

Hey people!

How's it going? yes, yes, u really should respond to that question using a comment, you c the botton, it's down the end of this blog, just click right there when u finish and say whateva u want; how u r feeling, what u think of the blog, what u think of me, all comments r good so get commenting my amazing readers.

ok so on to good old week 4 stuff. tutorial this week was fairly helpful, other than forcing me to listen to the assignment .mp3 file so that i could ask questions of our subsitute for dirk. The asking of questions was pretty helpful, but i think that some of my questions weren't really answered because there was no answer for them, while annoying it was also refeshing that i didn't have to think in so much detail.

personally i love modelling, it's so fun to build up an idea in your head which seems so pure and true, unfortunetly the real world isn't ever like a model, but that's fine. I have a real problem w/ the model of the water supply system on the slides because it has like no reservoirs, but i guess they wanted more abstraction than i did, maybe it makes no difference if there are reservoirs logically, but i haven't really got my head around thinking completely logically yet so who knows.

I think determining what is inside and what is outside the system is sometimes hard to determine, like i couldn't decide if muso is a part of my.monash unless i knew they were run by different people and that they bought the WebCT system from vendor (i think so @ least).

ERDs and UMLish stuff is familiar from database and programming, i don't know why u call it a class diagram when it makes sense to call it that in OO programming but they call it UML, bizare. Is there a difference between UML and class diagrams? i'm bit vague on that. I like the Object Management Group or OMG as they may prefer. i really wanna b a member of that group then i could say "omg, OMG is cool"


Well that's enough blabbling and statire from me.

Get Commenting!

see you guys soon

UML has lots of different models, class diagrams are one of the models that form the UML. Does that make sense - check that appendix I mentioned.

Nice that you check the OMG web site.
