A Project-based Learning Approach for Junior Windows Software Programmer

摘要

This paper presents an approach to train junior Windows software programmers for making software more appealing to students. This approach proposes to separate the software development technologies into three layers, which are the language layer, the application layer and the project layer. For each layer, based on the idea of PBL, this paper gives 20,12 and 1 projects to make the course interesting and easy to understand. Each student must finish a project named as LMS at the end of the course which contains many main technologies of Windows programming. According to the academic results and student surveys, most of the students can finish this course successfully and make a progress in software programming.
