In the module “Software systems” students have learnt to solve complicated software problems by means of stand-alone applications. In this module they learn and get experience in the design, implementation, and testing of complex multi-tier systems, using standard tools like database management systems, scripting frameworks and existing services (RESTful services). In this module, data (structured and semi-structured) play an important role. This comprises classically structured data in databases as well as obtaining data from social media and other web resources. Security will be explicitly dealt with.
A project for a client will be carried out by means of agile methods. As a consequence, students will gain experience in dealing with various stakeholders. Team skills are explicitly addressed as Academic Skills.
Prerequisite knowledge
Programming: Core concepts of imperative programming and object-oriented programming; being able to write software of average size (around ten classes) in Java. If you have adequate programming experience, but not in Java, you should additionally familiarize yourself with Java syntax and a Java software development environment like Eclipse.
Computer networks: Understanding the basic working of internet applications and protocols like HTTP.
Databases: No prerequisite knowledge required, but if you have no experience with elementary database concepts and data modelling, some extra effort is required to catch up.
Mathematics: No prerequisite knowledge required, but elementary knowledge of Set Theory and Mathematical Logic is helpful for understanding query languages.
