Taught Modules

CS-110 Programming 1

This module teaches students the fundamentals of programming in Java. Students will learn to develop and debug simple programs using basic programming concepts (assignments, if statements, loops, methods); data types (scalars, arrays, arraylists); and basic object-oriented programming concepts (objects and classes). They will also learn to write programs to a professional standard - programs that both work and are accessible and maintainable by other professional programmers. The module will place less emphasis on traditional lectures - there be one per week - and instead (a) more time will be spent in laboratories gaining hand-on experience; and (b) material will be available both in the form of extensive written notes and short screen capture videos, explaining and demonstrating tools, concepts and their applications.
CS-253 Web Service Development

This module is about writing REST Web Services and the technology needed to do that - including programming tools, libraries and technologies like HTTP, XML, JSON, Spring Boot and AJAX.
CSGM03 Web Services

This module is about representation of data, typically using markup languages like HTML, JSON and XML; its transformation; validation; and role in distributed web service applications using SOAP and REST.
