There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult. C. A. R. Hoare (1980 Turing Award Lecture)

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 inner process and inter-system communication, multi-threading, and the synchronization of shared resources, web interfaces, and working with large data sets. Students will primarily use C++, but also will learn Javascript and other languages as needed. Prerequisite: SCMP 118 or permission of instructor.Cource outcomes

At the completion of this course the students should

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

Software project grading rubric

Criteria	Excellent	Acceptable	Unacceptable
Adaptable & Reusable (The program is modular, using abstraction well and any limitations are clearly specified.)	all interfaces between objects are clear appropriate utility functions are used and well-documented most code can be reused	most object interfaces are clear some appropriate utility functions are used and documented some code can be reused	poor object interface definitions few or no utility functions no code can be reused
Documented & Maintainable (The program is well-documented with appropriate names and comments making it easy to understand.)	all naming conventions are followed both in-line and header comments are included and clearly explain the what the code accomplishes and how white space is used well	most naming conventions are followed some comments are confusing or missing white space is used well in most places	poor or no use of naming conventions too few or too many comments are used and they are unclear or inaccurate poor use of white space
Efficient & Elegant (The program uses both time and space on the computer effectively, without losing source code clarity.)	no extra variables or definitions are used the code is small, efficient yet still easily understood	extra variables do not make the code harder to understand brute-force problem solving approach	extra variables are pervasive and confusing the code is unnecessarily long and patched together
	25-20%	19-11%	10-0%
Robust & Correct (The program provides the correct output for all possible input.)	the program works completely as expected the output is displayed to specification for all valid input the program responds appropriately for all invalid input	the program works as expected for most input there may be minor errors in output formatting for valid input not all invalid input is handled reasonably	the program does not produce correct output for even the sample input the program fails to handle invalid input exceptions are not caught
