Semester 1 & 2

Organiser: Dr Cameron Gray

This module aims to:

• provide a grouding in contemporary technologies and practices used in industry.
• expose students to underlying theory of modern applications.
• instil a sense of real-world applications, their design and structure.
• provide practical experience of data driven applications.
• further students knowledge of a programming language suited to their programme.

Indicative content includes:

• Modern Web UIs; construction and features.
• Threading and Thread safety.
• Database programming.
• HTTP variables and information exchange.
• Modern software project management tools.
• XML parsing, schemas and its use for information exchange.

threshold

Equivalent to 40%. Uses key areas of theory or knowledge to meet the Learning Outcomes of the module. Is able to formulate an appropriate solution to accurately solve tasks and questions. Can identify individual aspects, but lacks an awareness of links between them and the wider contexts. Outputs can be understood, but lack structure and/or coherence.

good

Equivalent to the range 60%-69%. Is able to analyse a task or problem to decide which aspects of theory and knowledge to apply. Solutions are of a workable quality, demonstrating understanding of underlying principles. Major themes can be linked appropriately but may not be able to extend this to individual aspects. Outputs are readily understood, with an appropriate structure but may lack sophistication.

excellent

Equivalent to the range 70%+. Assemble critically evaluated, relevent areas of knowledge and theory to constuct professional-level solutions to tasks and questions presented. Is able to cross-link themes and aspects to draw considered conclusions. Presents outputs in a cohesive, accurate, and efficient manner.

1. Develop data-driven web-based software.

2. Design and develop modern UIs for business applications.

3. Select and utilise appropriate data formats for information exchange between systems.

4. Employ appropriate tools to support the software development process.
