M3105 - Advanced object design and Web programming

Module objectives:

·         To produce a detailed design by applying design patterns, to implement it using object-oriented programming good practices.

Skills covered:

The skills listed in the activities and skills reference document for the following activities:

·         FA1-A: Analysis of a computer solution.

·         FA1-B: Technical design of a computer solution.

·         FA1-C: Production of a computer solution.

Prerequisites:

·         M2103, M2104

Content:

·         Further object modelling for analysis, design and programming.

·         Understanding and implementation of design patterns, elements of software architecture.
