This course goal is that of completing the skills of students in the area of coding by presenting the software development techniques based on the object oriented paradigm and their adoption with the Java programming language.

The student at the end of the course will know the fundamental concepts of software engineering (software life cycle, configuration management, test, design) and of object oriented programming (classes, objects, attributes, methods, inheritance, interfaces), in addition she will know in detail the main features of the Java programming language. The acquired abilities will concern: the familiarity with the Java language, the capability of analyzing the requirements of a small-sized software system in order to deliver the relative design, the ability to implement and test the classes in the design using an integrated development environment (IDE).

The knowledge of basic programming constructs (types and data structures, control statements, functions and function calls) and of sorting and searching algorithms is a prerequisite.

Basic features (1 credit) • Object-oriented programming, java, eclipse • Classes, attributes, methods and constructors, objects • Packages and visibility rules • Strings, wrapper classes • Arrays Inheritance and interfaces (2 credits) • Inheritance • Abstract classes, interfaces • Functional interfaces, lambda expressions • Exceptions • Generic types Standard libraries (3 credits) • Collections: sets, lists, maps • Streams • Files • Dates • Threads • Graphical interfaces, Swing, JavaFX Software Engineering principles (2 credits) - Software life cycle - Design using UML - Design Patterns - Configuration management - Testing

The course will consists of a set of classroom traditional lectures to present the topics of software engineering and Java language. Moreover there will be classroom exercises to present and discuss exemplary programs. In addition to the classroom part, there will be lab exercises with assignments focusing on the development of simple case studies by means of the Java programming language and the Eclipse development environment.

The portal will contain the slides provided by the teachers and the information concerning the labs.

Modalità di esame: Test informatizzato in laboratorio;

Exam: Computer lab-based test;

... The exam will take place in the computer lab using the same tools used during the lab assignments, it will consists in the development of a Java program that implement a set of given requirements. In addition the student will be presented with three of four closed answer questions concerning theory not applied in the programming part. The question will weight 15% of the final grade. The exam lasts two hours, the use of notes and books is not allowed. The grading will be based on the quality of the delivered program in terms of correctly implemented functions, the severity of the missing features and the design decisions adopted.

Gli studenti e le studentesse con disabilità o con Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento (DSA), oltre alla segnalazione tramite procedura informatizzata, sono invitati a comunicare anche direttamente al/la docente titolare dell'insegnamento, con un preavviso non inferiore ad una settimana dall'avvio della sessione d'esame, gli strumenti compensativi concordati con l'Unità Special Needs, al fine di permettere al/la docente la declinazione più idonea in riferimento alla specifica tipologia di esame.
