Content and Learning Outcomes

Course Contents

• Basic object-oriented programming
• Basic database theory
• Basic use of databases
• Programming for interactive media on different platforms

Intended Learning Outcomes

Having passed the course, the student should be able to:

• choose the most suitable technical platform to create user interfaces for a new interactive system
• make simple media technology prototypes for digital interactive systems by means of specialized tools for programming prototypes
• program simple digital interactive media technology systems based on different technical platforms, including web, and different modes of interaction
• use real time programming for different media technology systems
• model and structure data in a relational database
• use SQL to formulate queries to a relational database
• cooperate with other students to design, develop prototypes for, and implement interactive systems in order to be able to apply technologies and processes to create prototypes and develop digital interactive media technology systems based on different technical platforms.

Literature and Preparations

Specific Prerequisites

Completed courses corresponding to DD1318 Programming and scientific computations and DD1320 Applied computer science, or the equivalent.

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and Completion

Grading Scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

• LAB1 - Laboratory work, 7.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH's coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Examiner
