<div>Hi Philip</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To me listing functional and non-functional requirements is a good way towards the end of an analysis to understand what features you want to include in your designs. It helps you to understand exactly what you want the software to involve and do. It also gives you an idea for what you can test and even evaluate later on.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It can sound like it's design, but it's actually analysing what your needs are.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope this helps.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All.<br><br>While I haven't had an SD class for a while (low enrolments and all), I will be taking a year 10 IT elective in the coming semester which is sort of a SD precursor.<br><br>Having been annoyed in the past by programming introductions that stressed the GUI at the expense of 'real' programming (e.g. the spent most of their time manipulating object properties and never discovered variables, arrays, loops and logic) I have decided to go back to basics... literally.<br>
<br>To force the kids to focus on fundamentals I wanted to start with good ol' QuickBASIC that has no GUI at all. Alas, it proved impossible to get it to run under Win7. That's when I found QB64 at <a href="http://www.qb64.net/" target="_blank">http://www.qb64.net</a>.<br>
<br>This is a nice rendition of reverse engineering QB that will work happily in a Win7 64 bit environment. It will be good to get the kiddies away from frills and back to the meat-and-vegies of programming. Only then will I get them into GUI and OOP.<br>
