8 Course Description Course Description Advanced Programming Techniques: The practice of programming. Emphasis is on the development of real programs, writing code but also assessing tradeoffs, choosing among design alternatives, debugging and testing, and improving performance. Issues include compatibility, robustness, and reliability, while meeting specifications. Students will have the opportunity to develop skills in these areas by working on their own code and in group projects. Two 90-minute lectures. 8

9 Course Goal 1 Course goal 1: Three-tier programming Help you to become a (better) three-tier programmer Help you learn how to (better) develop networked apps that consist of: (1) A data management tier (2) A presentation tier (3) Application processing tier 9

10 Course Goal 2 Course goal 2: Software engineering Help you to become a (better) software engineer Become (more) proficient at requirements analysis, design, programming, debugging, testing, evaluation, maintenance, methodologies 10

11 Course Benefits Course benefits Help you to bridge the gap between the academic world of programming and the real world of software engineering Help you to get a job! 11

12 Course Strategy How? Lectures Assignments 4 of them ~2 weeks per assignment Project All semester Inevitably, work will intensify near end of course 12

47 Assignments See Assignments web page Goal: Give you hands-on experience with baseline/ simple technologies Teams of two strongly preferred 47

48 Assignments Assignment 1 Registrar s office app (database version) Database programming Modularity Option 1: Java Option 2: Python 48

49 Assignments Assignment 2 Registrar s office app (GUI and networked version) Enhancement/redesign of previous Graphical user interface programming Multithreaded programming Network programming Option 1: Java + Swing Option 2: Python + Tkinter 49

50 Assignments Assignment 3 Registrar s office app (web version) Enhancement/redesign of previous Server-side web programming Option 1: Python + Bottle Option 2: Java + Spark + Velocity Option 3: PHP 50

52 Assignment Suggestions Suggestion: Invest time in Assignment 1; make it modular Modularity => ease of enhancement Observation: Assignments get easier as work on project ramps up Iff you use proper modularity 52

53 Assignment Suggestions Suggestion: When deciding which langs to use, consider: Which better supports your project? Which might you use in the future? Which do you like? 53

54 Assignment Suggestions Suggestion: When deciding which langs to use, if your goal is to increase: Depth of knowledge, then maybe: Assignment 1, 2, 3, 4: Java Breadth of knowledge, then maybe: Assignment 1, 2: Python Assignment 3, 4: PHP 54

55 Assignment Suggestions Suggestion: Difficult to switch/merge/split partners between assignments So, choose your Assignment 1 partner wisely Assignment 1 is available now 55
