Modules offered may vary.
This module covers a number of advanced topics relevant to enterprise software construction, including programming for mobile devices, server-side applications and the development of agent-based software.
Throughout this module there is an emphasis on the agile or extreme approach to software construction.
This module aims to:
- introduce you to the development of applications specifically intended for mobile devices, such as cell phones, using Java platform ME (Micro Edition)
- give you hands-on experience with the server-side deployment of software applications, including Java servlet technology
- deepen your understanding of agent-based software architecture, such as the Boris application programming interface and its relationship with mobile device programming
- expose you to the concepts underpinning the development of distributed software applications.
We introduce you to theoretical concepts through practical demonstrations in lectures. Laboratory sessions develop your understanding of these concepts through problem based learning.
You are expected to undertake four to five hours of self-led activity per week. This is supported and encouraged through our online learning environment.
Assessment
There is one individual in-course assessment – an ongoing portfolio of work in which you document the development of a set of inter-related Java applications. You also cover all the required aspects of software design, application development, evaluation, testing and personal reflection.
