Description

Advanced Programming and Design is an intensive course aimed at equipping students with the skills and knowledge required to become proficient and efficient software developers. Building on a solid foundation in object-oriented programming and Java, students will explore advanced language features not covered in earlier courses, including generics, memory management, and JVM performance tuning. The course introduces functional programming paradigms, with a focus on Streams, functional interfaces, and lambda expressions. Principles of multi-threaded programming will be examined to prepare students for concurrent application development. Emphasis is placed on professional software engineering practices, including clean code, continuous refactoring, test-driven development, object-oriented and architectural design patterns, and adherence to SOLID principles. Throughout the course, students will engage in extensive hands-on programming exercises to reinforce theoretical concepts and cultivate best practices in software design and development.
