Introduction
The students will learn to apply software development methodologies such as agile and project management tools in developing a large group software project. Learn about various programming paradigms such as objected oriented programming, functional, etc. Learn to identify the difference between these paradigms and their limitations.
Content
- Software development methodologies for example, agile methodologies such as scrum, kanban, project management tools (for design, tracking issues, sprints etc)
- Programming paradigms such as object oriented programming, functional programming, procedural programming with emphasis on strong typed languages
- SOLID principle, Design Patterns, Generics
- Domain driven design
- Advanced data structures and algorithms
- Concurrency
- Use of compilers, build tools
- Use of version control (git) and coding in teams

- Programming fundamentals (DAT120)
Recommended prerequisites
Exam
Project assignment with corrective oral hearing
Weight 1/1
Marks Letter grades
The final grade (A-F) is 100% based on the group project and the corresponding oral exam. The project consists of one large assignment demonstrating the application of concepts and techniques learned in the course. The project is to be performed in a group. The grade (A-F) for the project will be based on the submitted project assignment including program code and the corresponding oral exam. The groups must successfully explain their project implementation in detail during the oral exam to get the final grade.
A minimum of 6 weeks of project work is required. All aids are permitted during the 6 weeks of project work. The project presentation lasts 30 minutes, and no aids are permitted during the presentation
If a student fails the project, she/he has to take the project next time the course is lectured.
Coursework requirements
Three compulsory individual lab exercises (programming and written exercises). All compulsory exercises must be approved to take part in the final project. Approval may take place through the QuickFeed system for automated evaluation, followed by in-lab approval.
Completion of compulsory lab assignments are to be made within the allotted time period. Absence due to illness or for other reasons must be communicated as soon as possible to the laboratory personnel. One cannot expect that provisions for completion of the lab assignments at other times are made unless prior arrangements with the laboratory personnel have been agreed upon.
Failure to complete the assigned labs on time or not having them approved will result in barring from taking the project of the course.
Method of work
Lectures, individual programming tasks and a project that must be done in groups.
4 hours lectures and 4 hours exercise per week.
