Teaching Methods

This course unit is structured in 6 hours of lectures per week, and the remaining are labs. All classes are accompanied by a teacher. The programming concepts are introduced and put in practice during lectures. Particular programming problems are solved during labs, some of which are subjected to individual evaluation. The enrolment in this course unit requires a positive final grade (above or equal to 10) in the previous course units. The assessment has only one component: continuous evaluation (100%). Continuous evaluation aims to stimulate students’ participation in class activities and assess his/her evolution during the course.

Learning Outcomes

To acquire knowledge about development of Web applications, persistency, security, concurrent access, transactions, messages, dependency injection, and tools for automatic building, server applications, continuous integration, repository, and mapping between object and relational model. Special emphasis is given on Java APIs from Java Enterprise Edition. The enrolment in this course unit requires a positive final grade (above or equal to 10) in the previous course units. General skills that will be acquired at the end of the course are analysis and synthesis ability; organization and planning skills; problem solving and teamwork skills; autonomous learning; adapt to new situations; creativity; focus on quality and sustainable development.
