Paper Abstract:
|
Currently, Web Application Frameworks (WAFs) are very popular tools for developing software applications, because they employ component reuse techniques and classes for improving quality and saving costs and time. Such tools have a large number of components like classes, methods, functions, and libraries. When a developer uses one of such tools, he/she must invest too much time and effort in order to understand and learn the WAF usage. Some authors think about understanding and documenting the framework key elements (component functionality and interactions, and framework architecture) as a crucial problem. During the last year we developed a study in WAF learning with six system engineer students, and we created our own WAF for pedagogical purposes. Then we defined 13 WAF main components and we described key basic tasks should be developed for a basic WAF understanding. In this paper, we propose a knowledge representation about WAF learning based on the so-called pre-conceptual schemas for representing WAF basic concepts, knowledge bases, and main components. Also, we define these main components and their key basic tasks. A developer would use this material as a getting started guide, in which he/she can identify the basic concepts, main components and the things he/she needs to learn. These representations and components can be also used for WAF comparison and learning studies. |
