Course Learning Outcomes

This course gives students experience designing, implementing, testing and debugging moderately complex systems of software components that collectively form a multilayer application. There will be an emphasis on crafting quality code, designing and implementing effective user interfaces, and building multicomponent architectures using a mix of off-the-self and custom code. Topics will include direct file I/O, inner-process and inter-system communication, multi-threading, and the synchronization of shared resources, web interfaces, data visualization and working with large data sets. For two projects students will work in project teams. Students will primarily use C++, but also will learn Javascript and other languages as needed. Prerequisite: SCMP 118 or permission of instructor.

Course Outcomes

At the completion of this course the students should

1. Exhibit best practices in creating code that is well structured and organized using object-oriented concepts.
2. Exhibit an understanding of quality use of identifier naming within code.
3. Be capable of providing appropriate internal documentation within code.
4. Understand and utilize proper use of internal barricading and error checking of values within a program.
5. Be capable of creating detailed requirement for a problem bending solved.
6. Be capable of creating architectural designs for multi-component software systems.
7. Be capable of collaboration in software development including pair-programming, peer design and code reviews.
8. Be capable of creating and using a MySQL database using SQL and phpmysql.
9. Write JavaScript code using HTML, CSS and jQuery.
10. Be able to create an HTML and JavaScript front end that communicate with a C++ program through an Apache2 web server.
11. Design and develop web based data visualization components and user interfaces that use quality metaphoric concepts.
12. Be able to produce JavaScript and/or C++ effectively processes XML documents.

Grading

Due Date: All assignments are due as specified in the grading table below.

Missing Lab Assignments: Labs are an important part of this class; the effort spent on them is a crucial part of the learning process. Failure to submit labs is unacceptable: students earning 0s on two labs cannot receive a grade higher than a B- for the course; students earning three 0s on labs will receive an automatic F for the course.

Collaboration and Academic Honesty: In order to facilitate learning, students are encouraged to discuss assignments amongst themselves. Copying a solution is not, however, the same as “discussing.'' A good rule of thumb is the “cup of coffee'' rule. After discussing a problem, you should not take away any written record or notes of the discussion. Go have a cup of coffee or cocoa, and read the front page of the newspaper. If you can still re-create the problem solution afterward from memory, then you have learned something, and are not simply copying. (The “group work” are exempt from this, as they are intended to be done together.)
