Unit description and aim This unit is the first of two dealing with advanced knowledge in application development. It integrates the knowledge gained in the introductory programming unit to develop industry-strength Internet/Web applications. This unit introduces essential concepts, techniques, data structures, algorithms, software tools and modern frameworks required for designing, creating and testing interactive Internet/web applications. It covers both theoretical and practical knowledge on a wide range of modern technologies used for designing, creating and maintaining applications for the web. It aims to equip students with the skills needed to solve programming problems of moderate complexity, such as applications that provide an interface to real-world data. Legal, ethical and security aspects of web applications will also be addressed. Learning outcomes On successful completion of this unit, students should be able to: LO1 - Demonstrate high-level working knowledge and understanding of foundational web technologies and concepts, basic data structures and algorithms, and apply them to solve real world problems (GA4, GA5) LO2 - Apply the current architectures and practices of developing interactive Internet/Web applications that exhibit effective and efficient user interfaces with appropriate tools (GA5, GA10) LO3 - Critically evaluate design choices and investigate the consequences of key design decisions on program performance and user experience (GA5, GA8) LO4 - Communicate effectively in writing, using technical language, with other IT professionals, reflecting on technical, ethical, legal and security issues related to web applications (GA3, GA5, GA7) Graduate attributes GA3 - apply ethical perspectives in informed decision making GA4 - think critically and reflectively GA5 - demonstrate values, knowledge, skills and attitudes appropriate to the discipline and/or profession GA7 - work both autonomously and collaboratively GA8 - locate, organise, analyse, synthesise and evaluate information GA10 - utilise information and communication and other relevant technologies effectively. Content Topics covered: Database Programming Multithreading in Java Networking in Java Service Oriented Architecture Restful Web Services Graphical User Interface Design Data Structures Sorting and Searching Algorithms Complexity analysis Codes of Ethics and Professional Conduct Learning and teaching strategy and rationale The standard mode of delivery for this unit is multi-mode. However, the unit may also be offered in online and intensive modes according to University and student requirements. In multi-mode or online the unit will be delivered over a twelve-week semester or equivalent study period. Students will have access to all primary learning materials online through LEO, along with formative and summative assessments, all of which will be available online, so as to provide a learning experience beyond the classroom. While there are no formal classroom lectures for this unit, students taking the unit in multi-mode will be required to attend weekly two-hour workshops, which will include a seminar and specific tasks related to achievement of the unit learning outcomes. Students should anticipate undertaking 150 hours of study for this unit, including class attendance, readings, online forum participation and assessment preparation. Assessment strategy and rationale The assessment strategy for this unit allows you to demonstrate a critical mindset in evaluating the impact of technology and apply this knowledge to a variety of work situations. In order to develop this level of capability, continuous assessment strategy is being implemented. You have 3 assessments – the first is 10 weekly tests, each test covers topics over the week; second is 3 practical submissions – weekly topics covered; third is a final exam. Final exam covers all topics, it assesses knowledge, understanding and application skills of object-oriented programming. The assessment tasks for this unit are designed for you to demonstrate your achievement of each learning outcome. To pass this unit, you are required to: an overall mark of at least 50% attempt all three assessment tasks Compulsory attendance is not applicable to FLB units. Overview of assessments Brief Description of Kind and Purpose of Assessment Tasks Weighting Learning Outcomes Graduate Attributes Task1: Weekly Test The aim of the weekly test is to assess the student’s ability in implementing their knowledge and skills learned in every week. The questions in the tests involve: a) finding errors in a given code segment b) filling in missing code c) writing a code segment d) explaining a given code segment. 20% LO2 GA5, GA7 Task2: Practical Submissions This assessment requires to submit java source code written to solve a case scenario. The aim of this assessment is to develop professional skills through the application of theoretical knowledge and understanding of concepts learnt in the workshops. By completing this task, students will demonstrate competency in ethical perspectives, critical thinking skills, collaborative working skills, evaluating and synthesising information, and application of ICT skills, 30% LO1, LO2, LO3 GA3, GA4, GA5, GA7, GA8 Task3: Project Assignment The final project assignment is designed to assess all stated learning outcomes and material covered throughout the unit. The purpose of this assessment is to test the students’ ability to apply and demonstrate their knowledge through a programming task and a report. More specifically students will demonstrate programming skills for complex problems and critical thinking and evaluation skills. 50% LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4 GA3, GA4, GA5, GA7, GA8, GA10 Representative texts and references Y.
