Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ICTPRG525 - Build Java applets

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Create Java source file

  1. Create a file with a text editor
  2. Create a sub-class of the class Java.applet.
  3. Ensure that applet sub-class implements at least one of the following methods: init and paint
  4. Define classes that contain instance variables, methods and local variables
  5. Ensure that the init method initialises instance variables, and constructs any graphical interface used in the applet sub-class
  6. Implement the paint and update methods to manage output that is drawn in the applet window
  7. Incorporate event handling methods
  8. Implement the code that allows a user to enter values, and assigns these values to variables
  9. Use available graphical user interface (GUI) components to allow user interaction with the applet
  10. Specify and load images and sounds
  11. Include comments to describe the behaviour of the applet

3.7 Ensure that user interaction is implemented efficiently and effectively

Evidence of the ability to:

review the requirements to provide an applet that executes in Java-enabled browsers, and allows users to customise the applet's operation

write, compile and run an applet that accepts user input, and generates a response based on the input.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain object-oriented programming concepts

outline the theoretical concepts of Java programming

recognise, and describe, the Australian Computer Society Code of Ethics

identify the sources of browser security restrictions.
