I have recently started my assignment and have a few general overview questions. My back ground is primarily in server side business objects (not data accessors- separate area).
1) Would it help to do some UML modeling of the objects before I begin implementation? I will probably do this either way because that is the way I am used to doing design.
2) Has anyone included their unit test code with their assignment? Did anyone do unit tests?
3) What books have you used for references? I have those that I used for my SCJP but would like to expand those. I particularly need a good swing reference as I have done very very little GUI work. Any good reference for data access would also be appreciated.
4) About how many hours total should I budget for starters? I would like to be able to finish my assignment by the end of September and have evenings and weekends to work on it.
Thanks in advance
Lisa

I'd recommend creating unit tests, but I wouldn't include them as part of your submission.
