Module-Type:
Compulsory
Responsible for module:
Mundt
ECTS-Points:
15
Competences:
The students deepen their knowledge in operative and supporting
operational processes. They recognize the networking inter-relations
and the resulting conflict of goals in a company. One focus of the
education - with a view to the technical background of the students - is
on planning and controlling of production processes. In a business
simulation the students learn to handle information, working within an
intercultural team and making decision under time pressure.
With applied statistics, necessary for understanding and for the
analysis of many technical as well as economical correlations, a gap in
the basic education of technical undergraduate programs will be
closed.

Build complex GUIs using Swing
Write multi-threaded Java applications
Implement simple clients and server applications
Implement JDBC client applications
Understand usage of Java generic types
Understand standard annotations
Understand important patterns of object-oriented software
systems
Develop Java applications using Eclipse IDE
This course provides advanced training in programming using the Java
2 Platform. It concentrates on the Java 2 Standard Edition
I.e. client side programming. It is intended for students with basic
experience in object-oriented Java programming.
This course targets the 5.0 version of the Java language and Core API.
The course contents might be summarized by four topics




advanced concepts of Java language
Java frameworks
design patterns
software development using Eclipse
The first topic covers the concepts of collections, generics, threads and
annotations. Those concepts will be presented in the lecture.
The programming exercises require applying some of these concepts.
Experiences of recent courses show that mastering the large
frameworks of Java language requires a big effort of practical
programming work. Students have to develop applications using the
following frameworks: Swing, JDBC, RMI, XMLRPC. Developing small
applications using those frameworks illustrates also the tiered
architecture of modern applications.
One further aspect of object-oriented software development is
demonstrated by the exercises: design patterns. Examples of design

patterns (MVC, factory classes ...) will be discussed in the lecture and
their importance to modern software development will be stressed.
This course uses the Eclipse Java IDE as development tool. The Eclipse
Java IDE is an industry standard tool. Eclipse Java IDE is a very powerful
but also complex workspace. The students will use perspectives,
editors, debuggers, source code management and deployment tools.
Lecturer introduces different concepts of Java framework and students
implement basic implementations in exercises. The students will
develop also some examples as homework.
