  • Impacts of Object Oriented Programming on Web Application Development
    International Journal of Computer Applications Technology and Research Volume 4– Issue 9, 706 - 710, 2015, ISSN: 2319–8656 Impacts of Object Oriented Programming on Web Application Development Onu F. U. Osisikankwu P. U. Madubuike C. E. James G. Computer Science Department of Computer Science Computer Science Department, Computing and Department, Department, Ebonyi State Engineering, Akanu Ibiam Federal Obong University University, University of Polytechnic, Akwa-Ibom, Nigeria Sunderland, Uwanna, Nigeria UK Nigeria Abstract: Development of web application nowadays can hardly survive without object oriented approach except for the purpose of just information display. The complexity of application development and the need for content organization has raised the need for web application developers to embrace object oriented programming approach. This paper exposes the impact of object oriented programming on web application development. The exposition was done through a detailed study and analysis of information from secondary sources. The internet was usefully employed to access journal articles for both national and international sources. Our study enables web developers and designers to understand web application features, tools and methodologies for developing web application. It also keeps researchers and scholars abreast of the boost which OOP has brought into Web Applications development. Keywords: Object-Oriented Paradigm; Web; Web 2.0; RIAs; URL. 1. INTRODUCTION According to [17], Web Applications are web sites which are designers to understand web application features and popular dynamic in nature and uses server side programming to allow languages, tools, and methodologies for developing web a good interaction between the user form at the front end, and application. the database at the back-end.

  • Architectural Patterns
    Architectural patterns Open Source & DOTNET platform Understanding architectural design patterns (like MVC, MVP, MVVM etc.) is essential for producing a maintainable, clean, extendable and testable source code. MVC MVC stands for Model-View-Controller. It is a software design pattern which was introduced in 1970s. Also, MVC pattern forces a separation of concerns, it means domain model and controller logic are decoupled from user interface (view). As a result maintenance and testing of the application become simpler and easier. MVC design pattern splits an application into three main aspects: Model, View and Controller MVC Model The Model represents a set of classes that describe the business logic i.e. business model as well as data access operations i.e. data model. It also defines business rules for data means how the data can be changed and manipulated. View The View represents the UI components like CSS, jQuery, html etc. It is only responsible for displaying the data that is received from the controller as the result. This also transforms the model(s) into UI. Controller The Controller is responsible to process incoming requests. It receives input from users via the View, then process the user's data with the help of Model and passing the results back to the View. Typically, it acts as the coordinator between the View and the Model. MVP This pattern is similar to MVC pattern in which controller has been replaced by the presenter. This design pattern splits an application into three main aspects: Model, View and Presenter. This pattern is commonly used with ASP.NET Web Forms applications which require to create automated unit tests for their code-behind pages.

  • Formbuilder: a Novel Approach to Deal with View Development and Maintenance?
    FormBuilder: A Novel Approach to Deal with View Development and Maintenance? Tomas Cerny and Michael J. Donahoo 1 Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Czech Technical University, Charles square 13, 121 35 Prague 2, CZ, [email protected] 2 Department of Computer Science, Baylor University, P.O. Box 97356, 76798-7356 Waco, TX, US, jeff [email protected] Abstract. In most web applications, the attributes of entity classes di- rectly determine the content of corresponding view forms. In addition, these entity classes often encapsulate constraints on associated proper- ties. For example, a User entity class may have an email property with constraints on the form of the address; consequently, the view form for creating/updating users should include an email field and perform val- idation on the submitted data. Unfortunately, view form development is often done manually, an error-prone and tedious process. Form error detection is particularly difficult because the errors only manifest them- selves at runtime because of weak type safety and limited mechanisms for constraint verification. In addition, entity modification may cause incon- sistency with the corresponding form. In this paper, we propose a new tool, FormBuilder, which automates the development and maintenance of view forms. The application of this tool in production applications has repeatedly demonstrated the practical contribution of this approach. Keywords: Code-generation, Form development, Client-side validation 1 Introduction Enterprise application development often builds on a 3-tier architecture [1], object-oriented programming (OOP) [1] [2] and at some point utilizes model-view- controller (MVC) pattern [2] to design application with user interface flexible towards changes in layout and application logic.
