Course description and aims

The course is a continuation of MCS.T204 (Introduction to Computer Science) and offers intermediate-level of programming techniques. We focus on programming methodology. Through programming projects, students will have the chance to tackle problems of analysis of the domain demand, identification of technical obstacles, and choice of appropriate implementation techniques.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) effectively use modern programming environments that cover the automated build system, compiler, testing tools, and software repositories;
2) comprehend the concept of states and structure and implement stateful systems; and
3) build medium-scale software.

Keywords

Programming, Software development, Scala, Testing

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

The course consists of lectures and labs. Students must complete individual and group project assignments.

Pointers to all materials used in class will be made accessible via GitHub.

Assessment criteria and methods

The grade will be based on your abilities
1) to use various development tools,
2) to analyze the requirement of small-scale projects, and
3) to program and complete the projects.
The course scores are based on quiz (20%) and exercise problems (80%).
