Published: 18 Mar 2024 (latest update: 18 Mar 2024)
Short: Prog II
Semester: SS 2024
Study: Computer Science

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 as well. 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:

Recursive programming
Lambda programming
Generics introducing concepts like generic classes and methods as well as concepts like type erasure
Graphical user interfaces (GUI) using Swing introducing MVC (model view controller) paradigma
Testing of software including introduction to contracts, unit testing and code coverage

Material

Unit 1: Recursive programming, Lambda programming
Unit 2: Generics
Unit 3: GUI and MVC
Unit 4: Testing
Catalogue of exercises: (Executable in Moodle using the Virtual Programming Laboratory (VPL))
