Teaching-CSC7203 for Dr J. Paul Gibson, INFormatics (INF), Telecom SudParis, France.

More Advanced OO Development Concepts

This material is part of the module CCN M1 - Object Oriented Computing and Distributed Systems (moodle TSP site)

The material will be uploaded dynamically: the teaching approach is based on PBL and much of the learning will be through interaction/group work during the assigned lecturing time. (Please check the website for updates before every lecture.)

Sessions

Sessions are a mix of problem-based learning, group project work, directed practicals, interactive lectures and traditional lectures. There is no preset format - the lecturer organises the style and content of each session depending on the needs of the class.

Assessment

You will be given the option to improve your grade for the Dominoes project (from the 1st half of the module). You must incorporate at least 3 of the following advanced techniques:
• Design Patterns - Singleton, Iterator, MVC
• Unit testing - using JUnit
• Automated documentation - using Javadoc
• Generics - for more reusable code
• Exceptions (IllegalArgument, IllegalState, InvariantBroken)
• Threads - for nicer UI aspects
Bonus marks will be given if you use more than 3. You must provide documentation (.pdf file) explicitly listing all the changes/improvements that you have made.

You can submit your improvements to Paul at any time during the semester. You may have a 20 minute meeting scheduled in order to explain the changes/improvements that you have made. The submission deadline is Wednesday 10th May (noon)
