Frameworks are getting more and more popular today, Visual Basic is one of them. Personally i hate frameworks, and also most reversers do. So, why this tutorial? We can consider both the light and the dark side of the problem: frameworks usually put a lot of codein the compiled programs, so it becomes hard to find the way among all that jungle. But they also use sets ofpre-built objects, so theeseobjects (more…)

As the share of software in technical systems is growing, the quality of the software gains in significance as well. A contribution to ensuring a high level of software quality is made by company- or project-specific guidelines for software development which are intended in particular as working instructions and a basis for communication and the conclusion of contracts. This guideline contains rules for coding (more…)

• Repetitive and/or tedious operations can be performed very quickly. This results in reduced operator fatigue. • Once programmed properly, scripts don’t make mistakes. This insures higher quality. • Using scripts can help users that are not familiar with CAMMaster become productive quickly. • Scripts can be written to insure that no “procedural steps” are missed when generating your CAM data.

All the examples in this book are written in Visual Basic.NET. Why, you ask, have we decided to use Visual Basic exclusively since the .NET platform supports a plethora of languages? Why not pepper the text with examples in C#, Jscript, and maybe even Eiffel? We decided to concentrate our efforts on only one language to simplify things and to keep the book to a reasonable length. While it’s certainly nice to be able (more…)

Introduction Our Goal – Quality Software that is correct, robust and has extensibility. Correctness is the ability of the code to perform to its specification—that is, its behavior in known conditions. Robustness is its behavior in unknown conditions. Extensibility is the ease with which the code can be modified to accommodate new and changed requirements. These standards were adopted from different sources, (more…)
