If some people are interested we can schedule an extra lab session to learn and practice them.
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Checkstyle | [Checkstyle](checkstyle/Checkstyle.pdf) is a program that checks coding style and potential coding errors. KU Checkstyle Rules: [ku-checkstyle.xml](checkstyle/ku-checkstyle.xml) [Checkstyle Home](https://checkstyle.sourceforge.io/) has plugins for IDEs. |
| Properties | [Using Properties](properties/Using-Properties) for application configuration. |
| State Machines | [State Machines](topics/State-Machine.pdf) Lab: [Syllable Counter Using State Machine](labs/Lab-Syllable-Counter.pdf) [UML State Machine Diagram](topics/State-Machine-Diagram.pdf) "[programming without if](https://www.google.co.th/search?q=programming+without+if)". [Programming a state machine](topics/Programming-a-State-Machine.pdf) |
| Assertions |
[Assertions](java-intermed/Assertions.pdf) are builtin to Java and Python. They let you specify conditions that *should* be true and catch errors during development. Microsoft found that adding assertions to code during development greatly reduced bugs.
The Java assert command lets you write assertions in code. You can selectively enable or disable them at runtime (without editing the code), so there is no runtime overhead in the final product. |
| Inner Classes | [Inner Classes](java-intermed/Inner-Classes.pdf) and nested classes let you define one class inside another one. |
| Database & ORM |
Introduction to relational databases and how to use them in Java. For object-oriented programs, instead of directly accessing the database using an API (JDBC in Java) it is **much** better to use a framework that automatically maps objects to database elements, called Object-Relational Mapping (ORM).
ORMLite is an easy to use framework. Many OOP students have used it in their projects. Database directory contains lots of introductory slides. |
| Encrypting Password | You should *never* store users' passwords as plain text, and don't send them over the Internet. Encrypt passwords! [Password Encryption](encryption/password-encryption) describes how. [Excellent explanation in Pawat's OOP2017 project docs](https://github.com/guitarpawat/course-feedback/blob/master/README.md). You should write documentation like this! |
