Education Courses
Return to Education Project
FIXME: DRAFT, define a better look, sort every point .. add missing
Current reflexion : [[1]]
Introduction
Original links :
Mozilla University is a pretty good example about what we have in mind :
Education_Courses/Toronto University
Education_Courses/Seneca College
Let's try ? :-)
Rules
We must know, as preliminary, what is taught in the most common situations in most of the schools
FIXME : TABS
- Chinese education system for computing
- US System education system for computing
- French system education system for computing
- Other ...
Who will help, contribute for the courses
Three levels : elementary, secondary, university
difficult to teach OpenOffice.org programming for other students than university/schools, but some teachers from other levels can easely contribute.
How present them
Courses must have prerequisites, with skills precised, at different levels.
Beginner (can understand code containing it ) / Good knowledge ( used to ) / Designer skills ( the higher level )
Programming Language must be precised : C / C++ / Java / Objective C / Python / Shell / Xml
e.g. : Good understanding of pointers's use, objects, virtual classes, or basis in stl programming, or even Java
Courses must follow objectives :
- knowledge
- know how
- experimental know how
Authors of courses must be visible
A clear progression must be defined
Define, for every courses, developers who can be contacted as technical contacts
Create applications illustrating the courses, including code sample

Education_Courses/Write specifications
Build OpenOffice.org: dependencies, configure time, needs for every OS, architecture
examples: AquaBuild
- Source Code
extract cws, create patches, apply them, propose patches
- interactions with tools:
buildtime, dependencies management (build.lst) , solver (d.lst)
- Build issues: acquire skills, share and teach them
- known typical issues: typical build issues ( makefile relevant); code issues: fix warnings
- how find info: IssueZilla, IRC
- provide a buildfix (patch)
- rules for commiting
- avoid general build breaker(s): portability rules
- Writing code
- Coding Guidelines
- source code distribution: where find what
- rules for code review
- become a Domain Developer
Source code analyze ( + examples ) :
- vcl content and design -> use Mac OS X port as example
- svx content and design
- scp2: content and design
Feature implementation: how write specs, the process, integration process
Example of feature implementation: Native FilePicker on Mac OS X, for Aqua version of OpenOffice.org
Work in progress: new print dialog box
Manage a new feature implementation
