OVERVIEW

The purpose of this course is to enhance students' programming skills and familiarize them with widely used technologies and methodologies in the software development industry. To succeed in this course, students should already be proficient in object-oriented programming and have a basic understanding of databases.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Familiarize students with technologies and productivity tools used in professional settings, integrating and expanding software development skills already gained in other courses and with the challenges related to developing reusable and independently deployable software.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon successful completion of this course, through individual study and programming practice, students will be able to:

• Implement projects using C#
• Demonstrate familiarity with the .NET platform
• Utilize the basic functionalities of IDEs and modern development tools
• Grasp the fundamental concepts of unit testing

PREREQUISITES

• Imperative and object-oriented programming concepts (data structures, loops, inheritance, exceptions, typing systems...)
• Fundamentals and design of Data Bases (tables, queries, constraints...)
• Software life-cycle (design, implementation, testing...)

TEACHING METHODS

Frontal lessons and hands-on activities.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

TAP introduces mainstream technologies, methodologies, and tools essential for modern software development. As a beneficial side effect, students will significantly enhance their programming skills. Specifically, the course will cover:

• The fundamentals of Docker
• Version control systems
• The C# language
• IDEs (Integrated Development Environments)
• The .NET platform
• Tools for testing in .NET

The concepts taught will be solidified through practical activities within the .NET environment using the C# language.
