  • Dr. C#: a Pedagogic IDE for C# Featuring a Read-Eval-Print-Loop by Dennis Lu
    RICE UNIVERSITY Dr. C#: A Pedagogic IDE for C# Featuring a Read-Eval-Print-Loop by Dennis Lu ATHESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Master of Science APPROVED,THESIS COMMITTEE: Robert Cartwright, Chair Professor of Computer Science Joe Warren Professor of Computer Science Dan Wallach Assistant Professor of Computer Science Dung X. Nguyen Lecturer, Computer Science Houston, Texas April, 2003 Dr. C#: A Pedagogic IDE for C# Featuring a Read-Eval-Print-Loop Dennis Lu Abstract As the primary programming language of the Microsoft .NET platform, C# will play a significant role in software development for the foreseeable future. As the language rapidly gains popularity in industry, tools made for C# development fo- cus on the professional programmer, while leaving the beginning computer science student behind. To address this problem, we introduce Dr. C#, a simple lightweight develop- ment environment with an integrated, interactive Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL). Dr. C# helps flatten the learning curve of both the environment and the language, enabling students to quickly learn key elements of the language and focus more easily on concepts. Dr. C# thus serves not only as a learning tool for beginner students but also as a teaching tool for instructors. The editor is based on an open source IDE called SharpDevelop. This thesis describes the implementation of Dr. C# focusing primarily on building the REPL and integrating with SharpDevelop. Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Professor Robert “Corky” Cartwright for giving me the opportunity and autonomy to develop Dr. C#. I would also like to thank Professor Dung Nguyen for acting as co-advisor and for his years of guidance and support.

  • A Model-Driven Development and Verification Approach
    A MODEL-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT AND VERIFICATION APPROACH FOR MEDICAL DEVICES by Jakub Jedryszek B.S., Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland, 2012 B.A., Wroclaw University of Economics, Poland, 2012 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Computing and Information Sciences College of Engineering KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Approved by: Major Professor John Hatcliff Abstract Medical devices are safety-critical systems whose failure may put human life in danger. They are becoming more advanced and thus more complex. This leads to bigger and more complicated code-bases that are hard to maintain and verify. Model-driven development provides high-level and abstract description of the system in the form of models that omit details, which are not relevant during the design phase. This allows for certain types of verification and hazard analysis to be performed on the models. These models can then be translated into code. However, errors that do not exist in the models may be introduced during the implementation phase. Automated translation from verified models to code may prevent to some extent. This thesis proposes approach for model-driven development and verification of medi- cal devices. Models are created in AADL (Architecture Analysis & Design Language), a language for software and hardware architecture modeling. AADL models are translated to SPARK Ada, contract-based programming language, which is suitable for software veri- fication. Generated code base is further extended by developers to implement internals of specific devices. Created programs can be verified using SPARK tools. A PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia) pump medical device is used to illustrate the primary artifacts and process steps.

  • Dive Into Python 3”
    CHAPTER -1. WHAT’S NEW IN “DIVE INTO PYTHON 3” ❝ Isn’t this where we came in? ❞ — Pink Floyd, The Wall -1.1. A.K.A. “THE MINUS LEVEL” Y ou read the original “Dive Into Python” and maybe even bought it on paper. (Thanks!) You already know Python 2 pretty well. You’re ready to take the plunge into Python 3. … If all of that is true, read on. (If none of that is true, you’d be better off starting at the beginning.) Python 3 comes with a script called 2to3. Learn it. Love it. Use it. Porting Code to Python 3 with 2to3 is a reference of all the things that the 2to3 tool can fix automatically. Since a lot of those things are syntax changes, it’s a good starting point to learn about a lot of the syntax changes in Python 3. (print is now a function, `x` doesn’t work, &c.) Case Study: Porting chardet to Python 3 documents my (ultimately successful) effort to port a non-trivial library from Python 2 to Python 3. It may help you; it may not. There’s a fairly steep learning curve, since you need to kind of understand the library first, so you can understand why it broke and how I fixed it. A lot of the breakage centers around strings. Speaking of which… Strings. Whew. Where to start. Python 2 had “strings” and “Unicode strings.” Python 3 has “bytes” and “strings.” That is, all strings are now Unicode strings, and if you want to deal with a bag of bytes, you use the new bytes type.

  • Programming with Windows Forms
    A P P E N D I X A ■ ■ ■ Programming with Windows Forms Since the release of the .NET platform (circa 2001), the base class libraries have included a particular API named Windows Forms, represented primarily by the System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly. The Windows Forms toolkit provides the types necessary to build desktop graphical user interfaces (GUIs), create custom controls, manage resources (e.g., string tables and icons), and perform other desktop- centric programming tasks. In addition, a separate API named GDI+ (represented by the System.Drawing.dll assembly) provides additional types that allow programmers to generate 2D graphics, interact with networked printers, and manipulate image data. The Windows Forms (and GDI+) APIs remain alive and well within the .NET 4.0 platform, and they will exist within the base class library for quite some time (arguably forever). However, Microsoft has shipped a brand new GUI toolkit called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) since the release of .NET 3.0. As you saw in Chapters 27-31, WPF provides a massive amount of horsepower that you can use to build bleeding-edge user interfaces, and it has become the preferred desktop API for today’s .NET graphical user interfaces. The point of this appendix, however, is to provide a tour of the traditional Windows Forms API. One reason it is helpful to understand the original programming model: you can find many existing Windows Forms applications out there that will need to be maintained for some time to come. Also, many desktop GUIs simply might not require the horsepower offered by WPF.

  • 8 C# Development Tools
    Object Oriented Programming using C# C# Development Tools 8 C# Development Tools Introduction This chapter will introduce the reader to several development tools that support the development of large scale C# systems. We will also consider the importance of documentation and show tools can be used to generate documentation for systems you create (almost automatically). Objectives By the end of this chapter you will be able to…. • Find details of several professional and free interactive development environments • Understand the importance of the software documentation tools and the value of embedding XML comments within your code. • Write XML comments and generate automatic documentation for your programs. This chapter consists of eight sections :- 1) Tools for Writing C# Programs…. 2) Microsoft Visual Studio 3) SharpDevelop 4) Automatic Documentation 5) Sandcastle Help File Builder 6) GhostDoc 7) Adding Namespace Comments 8) Summary 8.1 Tools for Writing C# Programs Whatever mode of execution is employed (see section 1.7), programmers can work with a variety of tools to create source code. It is possible to write C# programs using simple discrete tools such as a plain text editor (e.g. Notepad) and a separate compiler invoked manually as required. However virtually all programmers would use a powerful Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which use compilers and other standard tools behind a seamless interface. Even more sophisticated tools Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools exist which integrate the implementation process with other phases of the software development lifecycle. CASE tools could take UML class diagrams, generated as part of the software analysis and design phase, and generate classes and method stubs automatically saving some of the effort required to write the C# code (ie.
