CS497REJ: Object-oriented Patterns in Frameworks

Welcome to the CS 497REJ page. This page is maintained by Greg Ferrar.

Dr. Johnson also is maintaining a class calendar.

Discussions related to CS 497REJ can take place on the newsgroup uiuc.class.cs497rej. There is an archive of this group here, courtesy of the OpenStep group.

This page will be a central repository for any information related to CS497 that you think is worth appearing here. My role will essentially be to take whatever you send to me and organize it into Web pages. Class members are expected to create their own web sites for their framework projects (if you don't have a way to do this, contact Dr. Johnson), but feel free to send my anything else you think should go here. Things you send me might include

Information for the table below (your names and email addresses, link to an official page about your framework, a link to your own page about your framework, a description of your framework).
Links to Internet sites related to the frameworks you're studying
Preliminary drafts of your papers
Progress reports for your group

Alternately, you can put all this (except the table info, which I need) in your web sites and just give me the link.

Dr. Johnson has written a document about resources on patterns and on writing about patterns. He'd be happy to answer more questions about it, because that would help him improve his list of resources.

If you want something to appear here, just send email to Greg Ferrar. Files (images, etc.) can be uploaded via ftp to the incoming directory of flowerfire.isdn.uiuc.edu.

You can then apply actions to the scene-graph such as render, pick, etc. You can also create new types of custom nodes, etc... The VRML file format was based on Inventor.
