Week 2 - FIT2001

Okay, Week 2 lecture. This week's lecture started with a general recap of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), encompassing the standard phases of the life cycle; planning, analysis, design, implementation and support. The lecture also emphasized on structured and object oriented approach, feasibility analysis and several other additions to the SDLC variations.

From my understanding, the structured approach deals primarily with the flow of execution deducted on various charts and diagrams like the DFD and ERD. In contrast, object oriented design combines data and the behavior of data to interact with other objects.

The lecture also mentioned several other SDLC variations such as the spiral model, XP, UP and Agile Modeling to accommodate the distinctive circumstances of project development.

Week 2 tutorial was similar to Week 1 except we were told to analyse the food chain system this time. I grouped with another student to analyse the food chain in great detail and brainstormed possible scenarios of problems and improvement along the key participants in the chain.
