PURPOSE

The module aims to support students' practical experience of programming basic applications.

The student is part of a course where concepts, methods and techniques from the course "Introduction to Programming" are used to develop a running application. There will be a focus on programming a prototype, where special efforts will be made in the completion of a subset of the application. The prototype must contain functionality that performs processing of data that is stored in a database on the basis of e.g. input via the user interface. Data must also be able to be extracted from the database and presented in a user interface. The prototype thus involves a fully developed subset of an application with a functional and demonstrable connection between user interface, function layer and database layer.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must gain knowledge about how and why an application in practice is structured according to a layered architecture with well-defined responsibilities
   
• Must gain knowledge about how to create a connection between the layers in the architecture
   
• Must gain knowledge about which control structures, data types and data structures should be used for realizing a specific application

Skills

• Must be able to structure an application in relation to a layered architecture
   
• Must be able to connect the layers of the architecture
   
• Must be able to use control structures, data types and data structures in realizing a specific application;

Competences

• Must be able to argue for the choice of structure in the developed application and reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of this
   
• Must be able to argue for the choice of control structures, data types and data structures in the developed application as well as reflect on disadvantages and benefits of this
