Sounds like fun lecture. I missed this lecture cause I thought I wont be taking this paper. But I am back now! Anyway, after I look at the latest design, isn't it better to have PhysicalHolding Class as an abstract class? To exist, a PhysicalHolding object has to be in a form of VCR or DVD or something else (BlueRay, etc) objects so PhysicalHolding itself is a concept, not a real object. Thus I think PhysicalHolding class should be shown as an abstract class. -- Jojo 15:20, 18 July 2008

Hey guys, check out Riel's heuristic #5.7 --Wal 01:48, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

We might be getting to the point where we might need more detailed requirements to improve much further, but I'm questioning the use of enums for DVD zone and Title genre. Riel's heuristic #5.12 (and #5.13) suggest that if we need to branch off the values of these for any reason that we should create class hierarchies and use polymorphism instead. Again, I think it depends on how they are used. If genre is only ever used to display a string for example, then I doubt it would be necessary (or useful). --Kris 23:50, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey last week in class I came up with a different solution to the Video (Title) setup. So I was just wondering if it is possible to do it like that as well...? --Dom 00:50, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
