The JEDI AMA training was held at AMA Makati from May 21 to 25.
Day 1: AM
We started off with the introduction to JEDI and the pre-test. Then before the noon break we had our hello world program using the command prompt although we had a few problems with setting the system path.
Day 1: PM
We had our hello world using netbeans. Then we discussed how to enter Strings from the keyboard and we had our first user input exercises.
Day 2: AM
Spent the morning discussing Java fundamentals, operators, variables, and data types. The participants also learned how to convert Strings into integers and double data types which allowed us to have exercises on data reading.
Day 2: PM
Discussed the if-statement and loops. As some of the participants are first time programmers, we spent the afternoon on exercises on loops. also have a short talk on how to do tracing in netbeans.
Day 3: AM
Discussed Object oriented programming. Had an exercises on creating their own classes.
Day 3: PM
Spent the afternoon on additional oop exercises.
Day 4: AM
Spent the morning discussing inheritance and polymorphism using a lot of exercises. although some of the participants still had a little difficulty grasping the programming element of oop, they at least were able to grasp the fundamental concepts.
Day 4: PM
To lighten up an otherwise heavy training, i gave them a walk though on how to create a GUI application using notepad. I explained that although netbeans does have a click and drag GUI design similar to Visual Basic, they needed to be able to program a GUI app from scratch in order to know how to be able to use the GUI Design functionaliy of netbeans.
Ended up with a simple application that copies text from a text box to a label, with a button for clearing the text box and label as well as a button for choosing color for the label. showed them a few Component methods such as .setToolTipText or .setBackground and even how to use fonts and load pictures.
Day 5: AM
In the morning I discussed simple layouting using the layout managers and JPanel. Then we discussed how to use the Design Form in Netbeans.
Day 5: PM
We discussed a little about threads and packages and to end on a high note, i gave them an advance peek into mobile application development.
THen we had our post-test and awarding ceremony
