A Dance In the Dark Every Monday

I was teaching the Software Development Process today.  We have covered all the stages when doing programming, and we have recently reviewed them by designing a laptop for kids aged 6-10 (this isn't software, I know, but I wanted them to learn and remember the process and stages)

Today we looked at remembering all the stages.  The boring way is:

A Dance In The Dark Every Monday

for the stages of:

  • Analysis
  • Design
  • Implementation
  • Testing
  • Documentation
  • Evaluation
  • Maintenance

Some alternatives the class came up with were:

  • A Duck In The Duckpond Every Minute
  • Ask David If The Dog Enjoys Milk
  • A Diamond Is Too Darn Elegant, Man!
  • Auntie Diana Is Taking Drugs Every Monday
  • A Dalek Impersonates The Doctor Every Minute
  • Ask Dumbledore If the Dormitories Ever Mix
