Q: I don't have any experience. How can I get my first experience? (Cont'd...)

Possibility number 9: Work for a company as a volunteer, i.e. an employee without pay. Once hired, you WILL get your first experience!

Possibility number 10: Get your first job by training yourself. Training yourself on a PC (or Mac), with the proper software, can be useful, if you spend your time to use it to its maximum potential! You can get more information! You can get the information now, right now! Click on a link!



Q: What is the definition of top down design?

A: Top down design progresses from simple design to detailed design. Top down design solves problems by breaking them down into smaller, easier to solve subproblems. Top down design creates solutions to these smaller problems, and then tests them using test drivers.

In other words, top down design starts the design process with the main module or system, then progresses down to lower level modules and subsystems.

To put it differently, top down design looks at the whole system, and then explodes it into subsystems, or smaller parts. A systems engineer or systems analyst determines what the top level objectives are, and how they can be met. He then divides the system into subsystems, i.e. breaks the whole system into logical, manageable-size modules, and deals with them individually.
