“…A more advanced approach is Views [Bishop and Horspool 2004] tool, which "features an xmlbased gui description notation coupled with an engine that shields the programmer from much of the intricate complexity associated with events, listeners and handlers. " The publication includes several examples how to use the framework in coding, including event handling and callbacks.…”

“…While the need to educate students about edp has been addressed, the educational practice has revealed many challenges related to teaching and learning edp, starting from Bruce et al [2001a], Bishop and Horspool [2004], El-Nasr and Smith [2006], Dabney et al [2013], and Gordon et al [2015] describing the concept as a whole as challenging or hard to understand. Some authors describe more specific obstacles.…”

During the past two decades, event-driven programming (EDP) has emerged as a central and almost ubiquitous concept in modern software development: Graphical user interfaces are self-evident in most mobile and web-based applications, as well as in many embedded systems, and they are most often based on reacting to events. To facilitate both teaching practice and research in programming education, this mapping review seeks to give an overview of the related knowledge that is already available in conference papers and journal articles. Starting from early works of the 1990s, we identified 105 papers that address teaching practices, present learning resources, software tools or libraries to support learning, and empirical studies related to EDP. We summarize the publications, their main content, and findings. While most studies focus on bachelor’s level education in universities, there has been substantial work in K-12 level, as well. Few courses address EDP as their main content—rather it is most often integrated with CS1, CS2, or computer graphics courses. The most common programming languages and environments addressed are Java, App Inventor, and Scratch. Moreover, very little of deliberate experimental scientific research has been carried out to explicitly address teaching and learning EDP. Consequently, while so-called experience reports, tool papers, and anecdotal evidence have been published, this theme offers a wide arena for empirical research in the future. At the end of the article, we suggest a number of directions for future research.

“…One way to create those user interfaces may be achieved by usage of declarative languages. Recent projects like XML User Interface Language (XUL) [16], eXtensible Application Markup Language (XAML) [17] or Views [18] take an XML-based approach to a declarative GUI description. These languages may therefore be used as target platforms for model-driven GUI development.…”

-To meet fast changing demands on modern software architectures the ambition to shorten and improve software development processes has increased. The approach of model-driven software development focuses models as specification of software and on transformations of those models to finally get source code. The advantage of the model-driven approach still has to be proven because a continuous toolsupported transformation process from model to source code with regard to all aspects of a software system is not yet possible. This paper concentrates on the aspect of user interaction by presenting an easy to apply approach allowing for a toolsupported, model-driven software development of graphical user interfaces for any kind of platform. A case study demonstrates the usage and benefit of our model-driven approach applied to a common software development process.Keywords -Graphical User Interfaces (GUI), Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD), Software Engineering

“…In JML [12], model fields can be used to describe the conceptual model of a class. In C# [1], the characteristics of a class can be made available using properties. In Enterprise JavaBeans [17], two different kinds of components are distinguished: entity beans and session beans.…”

One of the principles of Design by Contract is that contracts for software components must be written in a declarative way, using a formal, mathematically founded notation. When we apply the Design by Contract methodology in a naive and straightforward way, we risk ending up with unwanted duplication. In this paper, we describe a methodology for writing class contracts that avoids specification duplication and that gives rise to uniform class specifications with a clear and fixed structure.
