IS324: Modern Application Development

In this course, modern programming trends and techniques are given, and their usage in developing real applications for society organizations. Students go through a learning curve that starts by understanding a problem, analyzing it, and sketching and implementing a solution as a three-tier by using an object-oriented approach. Hence, all these skills must be emphasized in this course. This course is intended to widen the vision of students and gives them a flavor of the real-world problems that can be tackled using programming languages as opposed to higher-level tools such as CASE tools or DB packages. Projects must be selected carefully to provide the students with skills in modern applications. Students learn a new programming language to be used as an implementation tool. Students must be able to finish one project during this course. Modern trends in software development, e.g. component-based programming, can be covered.
