These are all of the course content for the entirety of Programming II & Systems Development II. (If you're reading this on Moodle, the repository is located here: https://github.com/uldahlalex/3rd_semester_exercises/ The markdown files from the repository are simply embedded into Moodle)

The structure of this repository is the following:

• Weeks are divided into individual "days", like "programming day 1" or "systems development day 2" of that particular week.
• Each day will have a README.md file(embedded into Moodle) with the info about that particular day (presentation topics, links, documentation, etc.) The Exercises, however, must all be accessed from the repository.

I recommend you clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/uldahlalex/3rd_semester_exercises

So you can take advantage of the exercise setups I have made (such as tests to validate your work).

You can also view the repository in an online editor if you just want a quick view without downloading: https://github.dev/uldahlalex/3rd_semester_exercises

Semester info is still on Moodle here: https://moodle.easv.dk/course/view.php?id=2906

I recommend starting out by reading (or at least having a quick glance at) this file to get some basic info about this Programming II and Systems Development II.

Best regards,
Alex

Calendar links:

Please note that the Outlook UI sometimes defaults to starting weeks on Sundays instead of Mondays, so remember to read the weekday carefully:

The time-tables can also be read on Moodle under general semester info (not the individual course pages).

Although the learning goals are expressed in the official orders, I want to give a more straight-forward explanation of what you will learn:

You will learn how to build software systems comprised of dedicated front- and backend applications geared towards modern web consumption. There is a heavy emphasis on processes like automation, testing and software delivery.

Programming II (and Systems Development II for that matter) will be taught as a mixture of these elements:

• Presentations (Introducing new topics, verbal and partly visual, mostly non-participating)

• Exercises (Repetitive, shorter duration, smaller domain area, focused)

• Projects (Longer running, in-depth, business-oriented problem solving, many participating domain areas, participating, but lacks "repetition") [Week 35 project, compulsory assignment, exam projcet]

• Literature / documentation (In-depth and informative, but non-participating)

• Video-based content (Walkthrough-based, demonstrating, hands-on)

It is my personal philosophy that mixing all 5 styles is beneficial for your learning outcome. I acknowledge personal working/studying preferences, and try to keep all styles of learning present throughout all major topics covered.

Q: Can I have your slides?

• My presentation slides are public (published just after end of presentations), since I want transparency. However, I don't recommend you bother "reading" slides. They simply exist in order to guide my presentations. If you want to read, please see the relevant literature+documentation for each lecture.

• Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, etc. This is covered in 4th semester DevOps and the bachelor's programme)
• "alternative" request and response formats and HTTP verbs (we'll stick to GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and mostly work with JSON)
• API versioning (Covered in 4th semester Full-stack)
• We'll work a lot with async in the frontend with Promises, but primarily I'll demonstrate synchronous programming on the backend.
• The course does not aim to make you an excellent Javascript developer, but functions as an introduction to making modern Javascript applications using a framework (Angular).
• We will cover just enough HTML and light CSS to be able to use Angular.
• We don't cover other types of API's than HTTP-based REST(-ish). (No gRPC, MQTT, SOAP, GraphQL, Kafka, Websockets. Some of these may be covered in a very interesting elective subject I have in the works for 4th semester, though...🕵️)
• Noteworthy Nuget packages (.NET libraries) commonly used in enterprise IT I decided to leave out due to time constraints/better alternatives/not fit for course needs are the following (You may use these if you like for exam and projects, but I don't include these in lectures):
  • Automapper (And any other Mapping library for that matter)
  • Mediatr
  • Fluent Validation (I use Data Annotations validation)
  • Entity Framework (I use Dapper)
  • (more will probably make this list)
