Modern Programming Principles & Practice 2

Introduction to Programming

This module builds on stage one and Semester 1 extending prior knowledge of the principles of data structures and application design and furthers technical competence in implementing various computing artifacts. The module looks at the modern programming practices using OOP techniques and common design patterns and industry practices to build Well Architected solutions.

Indicative Syllabus Content

Object-Oriented Review

A review of basic OOP concepts from the previous semester

Object-Oriented Applications Design / Design Patterns / Security Concepts

Introduction to Object-Oriented software development and design
Web Development Design Patterns – MVC, MVVM
Design Patterns: Singleton, Observer, Factory, Decorator, Repository
Security Algorithms : JWT tokens, encryption libraries
OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks

Data Structures, Files, Streams, Threading, Package Management

Data structures: arrays, lists, hash tables, queues, dictionaries, and stacks.
Collections and frameworks to manipulate collections (e.g. Linq)
File Input, Output, Streams
Threading and Parallel Execution
Package Management

Testing

Unit Testing
Automated UI testing
Integration Testing

Minimum Intended Learning Outcomes (MIMLOs)

Upon successful completion of this module, the learner should be able to:

MIMLO1

Identify the benefits of Object- Oriented design and implementation.

MIMLO2

Produce intermediate complexity level computing solutions using the principles of Object-Oriented Programming and design patterns.

MIMLO3

Deliver solutions using a variety of rendering mechanisms including console, web markup and simple JSON and xml feeds via rest APIs.

MIMLO4

Identify and install the appropriate libraries and packages in their chosen language for Object Relational Mapping to persist and read data from storage mechanisms such as files (text and binary formats) and SQL / NO-SQL databases.

MIMLO5

Utilise industry best practices in developing secure and well architected and tested software applications.

Reassessment Opportunity

Where the combined marks of the assessment and examination do not reach the pass mark the learner will be required to repeat the element of assessment that they failed. Reassessment materials will be published on Moodle after the Examination Board Meeting and will be aligned to the MIMLOs and learners will be capped at 40% unless there are personal mitigating circumstances.

Aims & Objectives

This module will ensure learners meet the following objectives:

- Create an understanding of object creation and design and their role in producing a Well-Architected solution.
- Introduce several fundamental data structures and programme designs and their applications in software development.
- Ensure the appropriate use of collections for manipulating objects in memory.
- Introduce Object Relational Mapping libraries for working with persistent storage mechanisms and collections.
- Apply design patterns and security measures in the development of robust and secure applications.
- Deliver output using a variety of rendering methods such as the console, web markup and data feeds (xml and json apis) which has been validated with unit tests, integration tests and UI tests.
