Nane Kratzke | Programming II

The course Programming II continues Programming I by introducing more sophisticated programming concepts for second-semester students. JAVA is used as a teaching language. (The C programming language is covered in a parallel thread of this course. However, this is not covered by this post.) Nevertheless, the principles apply to every (class-based) object-oriented programming language.

The course is given for students of the Computer Science/Software Engineering study programme at the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences and will cover the following aspects:

Object oriented concepts and programming techniques
Testing of software including introduction to contracts, unit testing and code coverage
Generics introducing concepts like generic classes and methods as well as concepts like type erasure, bounds
Introduction to OOAD (object-oriented analysis and design) by the example of Tic Tac Toe
Graphical user interfaces (GUI) using Swing introducing MVC (model view controller) paradigma
Concurrent programming using threads introducing accompanying thread safeness problems like race conditions, producer-consumer problem, deadlocks.

Due to the Corona crisis, this course is given as a complete online course.
