11 Official Description Official 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. 11

12 Course Goal 1 Goal 1: Three-tier programming The course will Help you 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 12

13 Course Goal 2 Goal 2: Software engineering The course will Help you become a (better) software engineer Help you become (more) proficient at requirements analysis, design, programming, debugging, testing, evaluation, maintenance, methodologies 13

14 Course Benefits Course benefits The course will Help you bridge the gap between the academic world of programming and the real world of software engineering Help you get a job! 14

52 Assignments See Assignments web page Goal: Give you hands-on experience with baseline technologies Teams of 2 52

53 Assignments Assignment 1 Registrar s office app (database version) Database programming Modularity Option 1: Java Option 2: Python 53

54 Assignments Assignment 2 Registrar s office app (GUI and networked version) Graphical user interface programming Multithreaded programming Network programming Option 1: Java + Swing Option 2: Python + Tkinter 54

55 Assignments Assignment 3 Registrar s office app (web version) Server-side web programming Option 1: Python + Bottle Option 2: Java + Spark + Velocity Option 3: PHP 55

56 Assignments Assignment 4 Registrar s office app (AJAX + CSS version) Client-side web programming: AJAX, CSS, responsive programming Option 1: Python + Bottle + JavaScript + AJAX + CSS Option 2: Java + Spark + Velocity + JavaScript + AJAX + CSS Option 3: PHP + JavaScript + AJAX + CSS 56

57 Assignment Notes Note: Assignment sequence requires you to implement the same app using different technologies Question: Why that approach? Answer 1: Facilitates relating new technologies to old Answer 2: Illustrates the value of modularity 57

58 Assignment Notes 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 58

59 Assignment Notes Suggestion: When deciding which langs to use, consider: Which better supports your project? Which might you use in the future? Which do you like? 59

60 Assignment Notes Suggestion: When deciding which langs to use, if your goal is to increase: Depth of knowledge, then maybe: Java: Assignments 1, 2, 3, 4 Breadth of knowledge, then maybe: Python: Assignments 1, 2, 3, 4 Breadth of knowledge, then maybe: Python: Assignments 1, 2 PHP: Assignments 3, 4 60

61 Assignment Notes Suggestion: Choose your Assignment 1 partner wisely Difficult to switch/merge/split partners between assignments Looking for a partner => loiter after this class Assignment 1 is available now 61
