Business Systems Integration

An Overview

Evolution of BSI - beginnings

It came from Java – MIS 225 It became C# – MIS 400

Evolution – [Before]

• Taught best practices in application development

• Application development using different exercises in book

• Web services in week 5• Final project: canned from text books• Present project to instructor

Evolution – [After]

Analysis ImplmntDvlpmntDesignReq’tsDefinition

Evolution of Systems Integration• Replacement of Fourth Gen Languages (MIS 225)

– An programming class using Java• Began as a C# programming class

– Book: Microsoft # Professional Projects• Objective: to learn OOP

– Web services by mid-term• Added components

– Final Project– Presentation

• Added refinements by using a single business model that builds upon itself– In-class: SouthBreezeGroceries– Assignments: YourSpace

• Modified projects to introduce inter-dependencies– Standalone client websites Order tracking system

• Shifted emphasis: Coding Coding + Analysis + Communication– Reduced coding by replacing HW with SbS– Simulated actual client, with some built in flexibility for user interface– Invited professionals from outside the class

Course Objectives in Syllabus1. Integrate technology skills learned in earlier courses to provide effective solutions

for business problems. Specifically:i. Learn to work with VWDE, in the technical development environment of the CoB.ii. Learn to develop basic logic and code structures using C#iii. Understand usage of web controls to develop graphically appealing and usable web applications.iv. Be able to develop applications that require applications that run custom database queries.v. Be able to use, understand, and develop web services, and understand their advantages.

2. Demonstrate effective and practical use of Systems Analysis and Design by using the SDLC problem based learning methodologyi. Analyze project charge and identify business problems and requirements of project. i. Evaluate problems, issues, risks and potential solutions, identify optimal solutions in light of thoseii. Design and develop system description documents, such as use case diagrams, process flow diagrams, entity relationship

diagrams, site maps, etc.iii. Create prototypes of user interface, and proposed functionality.iv. Evaluate how the proposed project provides an effective solution.v. Employ Agile Computing Methodology to develop complex technical solutions.

3. Develop proficient communication, collaboration and presentation skillsi. Communicate effectively to collect project information and establish project scope.ii. Create content with appropriate coverage, accuracy and level of detail for a client.iii. Present content with proper clarity, organization, professionalism in appearance, and presentation time management.iv. Use visual aids and supplements effectively.v. Communicate and collaborate in and across system teams.

*** Individual techniques listed after Table of contents in the MIS 400 book

Skills of Step-by Step directions

• SbSes show exactly how to do something – Example: adding columns to a GridView

• Contain breakdowns to introduce new techniques

• SbSes test application of what was shown earlier– by using Fill-in-the-blanks for repeated techniques

• SbSes build complex applications by building upon themselves– E.g. CustomerRegistrationExecuteNonQueryWebservice.aspx
