Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Programmes as compositions of functions. Comparison between functional and object-oriented programming. Handling and identification of code complexity.
The open-closed principle.
Modelling of information.
Business logic and rules compared with handling of state.
APIs. Documentation of entities.
Testability and the importance of tests. Tests as documentation. Mutability and persistent data structures. Clean functions. Thread safe programming.
Intended learning outcomes
After completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- structure, using functional programming, large programs so that they become easier to understand and manage,
- identify the need of design patterns in development of new or in administration of existing code, as well as implement these where appropriate,
- design and document public APIs with a clear responsibility,
- design entities so that they become testable and write tests for them,
- protect internal design of a program from the public APIs,
- develop a programme in collaboration with others,
- review and reflect on source code,
- develop given source code
in order to be able to
- understand and master the parameters in software development that make source code sustainable, re-usable and flexible during changing requirements.
