II. PREREQUISITE:

Solid familiarity with either Java or C++ will be assumed.   

III. COURSE DESCRIPTION

TOPICS (Each year we will choose some of these for deep dives):

•    Designing software to meet non-functional requirements for quality, security, reliability, scalability, extensibility, testability, supportability, fault tolerance and disaster recovery
•    Architecture Governance—what is it and how do you do it?
•    Vendor and Technology assessment techniques and documenting roadmaps
•    What does “ideation to implementation” mean?
•    Continuous Integration and Delivery
•    Architecture Documentation:  Conceptual and Solution Architecture Artifacts
•    Software Development Life Cycle integrating Agile methodologies
•    Alternative architecture/design approaches – object oriented, structured, component based and corresponding tools

TECHNOLOGIES (Each year we will choose some of these for deep dives):

•    Java Development including J2EE, JavaScript, ExtJS, JSON, AJAX, Spring Framework and MVC, Hibernate, JFC, JDBC
•    Event-based design
•    Microservices and RESTful APIs
•    SQL and NoSQL databases
•    Fast access and compute architectures including In-memory databases and data grids
•    Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, Storm
•    Continuous/Container-based software design using Docker, Apache Mesos, and Cloud Foundry.
•    Version control systems such as Subversion, GIThub, etc.
•    Continuous Integration and Delivery using Junit and Bamboo
•    Collaborative tools such as Crucible

IV. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This course will enable students to understand:

A. Develop a full command of the UML and object-oriented design
B. Object abstraction: objects, classes, inheritance and composition
C. Unit testing and Test Driven Design
D.  Design and develop a non-trivial system using best practices in software design and development
E. Understand the benefits of object-oriented analysis and design, concepts and processes
F. Become familiar with formal design tools for object orientated analysis and design
G. Become conversant with a number of common design patterns
 

V. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Students are expected to have read and understood the University's policy on Academic Integrity. This policy is detailed in the Student Manual of University Policies and Regulations, available online at http://www.uchicago.edu/student/manual/academic_honesty.html.
 

VI. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION

Methods include lecture and project-related assignments. Your team work should be stored using a version-control system that allows us to easily view files and folders that you create.  One possibility is to use Subversion.
 

VII. OTHER COURSE INFORMATION

Attendance:

No formal attendance taken. Absences will affect your team and likely impact your peer evaluation.  There may be information presented in class that is not in the texts. You will find the lectures helpful in doing the laboratory exercises.

Make-up Work:

Students are expected to read the assigned texts before class in order to be able to full participate in the discussions and course activities.
 

VIII. METHOD OF EVALUATING STUDENT PROGRESS

Assigned work evaluated as follows:

Grading scale:
95-100:  A
90-94:    A-
87.6-89:    B+
83-87.5:    B
80-82.9:    B-
76-79:    C+

Iteeration Deliverables will be graded on a 5-point basis.  Deliverable due dates are noted on the syllabus below.  All labs and homework are due by 5:00 pm on the due date.

All assignments are due as specified on this syllabus and lab and iteration deliverables.  This includes the final project deliverables.  Each team will be evaluated on the basis of the presentation of iteration deliverables and the final deliverable.  Any and all lateness will suffer penalties.  The penalty for late labs will be .25 points off for each 24-hour period the lab is late, through ten days late (10*.25=2.5).  After ten days delay, the lab will no longer be accepted for grading and will receive a 0.

The course project will be due for all teams on November 28, 2017 for all students.  The requirements for the course project are described here.

NB:  The end of the quarter is the time at which the final grade you have earned through your work in the quarter is recorded with the registrar.  There is no extra credit offered in this course, either at the beginning or at the end.  If you are disatisfied with the grade you have earned at the end of the quarter, your only options will be to retake the course the next time it is offered, or accept the grade you earned.

NB: The instructor reserves the right to alter the course contents, dates, times or percentage of credit based on time allowed and class progress through the course material. The instructor also reserves the right to curve grades if he deems it in the best interest of the majority of students.
