The idea is that the material is increasingly structured on ideas by Daniele Procida:
Based on the youtube video What nobody tells you about documentation (Daniele Procida) . See also [the divio-site on documentation]https://www.divio.com/blog/documentation/). Daniele proposes the following types:
Tutorial: practical steps, learning oriented. Show how to get started. Minimum necessary explanation. Immediate sense of achievement.How-to guide: practical steps, problem oriented.Discussion: theoretical, understanding oriented.Reference: theoretical, information oriented. Accurate and complete.
At FHICT we distinguish further
- “Training” (formerly exercises): ‘finger exercises’, these are meant to practice a piece of theory in practice, but not to use to convince your teacher.
- “Challenges”: To convince your teacher that you don’t only get it but also do it, you’re going to come up with your own assignments, vary and expand on existing assignments!
Further principles:
- The focus is on the concepts: We want to teach someone for example how and why to create a Class, not specifically in C# or Visual Studio!
- Wherever possible we keep it programming language agnostic.
- For learning the OOP concepts the GUI (Graphical User Interface) is less important, so this material does not spend a lot of time on it.
- only copyright-free material in these repos!
- Everyone is encouraged to give tips to improve! The pages all have an ‘improve this page’ link below!
