Programming 2

This course will cover the following topics:

• Collaboration between objects. Lists, search and sorting. Compare objects.
• Inheritance and polymorphism
• GUI
• Data files and serialization
• Exception handling
• Functional programming.
• Design patterns
• Integrated development environment. Debugging. Unit testing. Version control.
• Databases and object-relational mapping (ORM)

Knowledge

The candidate must:

• be able to explain how inheritance and polymorphism contribute to the generalization of problem-solving
• be able to model class diagrams that consist of several classes with aggregation, composition and generalization given a problem
• be able to show how references and objects are connected in a given program
• know key concepts in object-oriented and functional programming and be able to account for these
• be able to explain what an object-relational mapping (ORM) / database solution is and justify when it may make sense to use such solutions

Skills

The candidate must:

• be able to use inheritance and polymorphism to create flexible, expandable and sustainable solutions
• be able to use and understand the API documentation to find information about classes and methods (D)
• be able to use ready-made methods in the API for sorting and searching in tables and lists
• be able to program an object-oriented solution given a class diagram consisting of several classes with aggregation, composition and generalization
• be able to use an integrated development environment (IDE), debugger, device testing and version control

The candidate can create a program:

• with the delegation of tasks between objects and where inheritance and polymorphism are used
• with simple graphical user interfaces
• which uses functional programming and higher-level functions
• using ORM (object-relational mapping)

General competence

The candidate must:

• be able to apply object-oriented thinking to analyze and solve problems
• be able to apply elements from functional programming
• shall be able to assess ethical issues related to OOP, unit testing and version control
