Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will learn how to apply modern programming approaches in .NET platform using C# language. After class completion, students will be ready to tackle real-world programming challenges with a new perspective based on object-oriented principles and to apply design patterns to architecture design. Working in a team simulates real work assignments, teaches students coordination and enforces the use of agile methodologies.  Main take offs are object-oriented workflows in C# and .NET platform, application of design patterns and utilization of persistence data providers.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of imperative programming (C language), algorithmization and source code versioning.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Not applicable.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

  • Project evaluation is divided into three parts.
  • Each part will be evaluated separately and feedback given to students for further improvements in the following phases.
  • Phases are marked by 20, 30, 50 points.
  • Final project (the third phase) evaluation is an oral defence.

Aims

This class aims to teach students object-oriented programming and desktop application design principles in the C# language.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

  • Team project 5 members in the Azure DevOps environment.
  • Implemented using CleanCode and S.O.L.I.D. principles.
  • The implementation consists of a fully functional desktop application heading OOP principles with database persisted storage.
  • In case of forewarned complications students can ask for an extension of the deadline for any part of the project.
