Advanced Programming for Java Platform

General information

• the course will be taught remotely
• the lectures will be held via the Teams and the practicals via online group consultations
• the code to access the lectures was distributed via the email from the SIS to the subscribed students
  • in case you have not received it, send an email to Petr Hnětynka

Practicals/labs

• Sign yourself to a practical using the information system
  • who is not signed to a practical within first three weeks of the semester will not receive “zápočet”
• Information for those who do not want to attend the practicals
  • if you do not want to attend practicals, you can also sign yourself to the “virtual” practical
  • for the “virtual"practical, there are the same requirements and deadline as for the “regular” ones
• if you repeat the course the requirements you fulfilled the previous year can be accepted (but only in the scope of a single study)
  • explicitly write about it to the teacher of the particular practical (within first three weeks of the semester)
  • if you did not write the home project program, the topic is not automatically accepted
    • but it is not necessary to think out a new one; you can propose the original one
• implementations of exercises from the practicals will be available in Teams
  • WARNING: commonly there are incomplete implementations

Exam and “zápočet”

• Exam is a written test
• To obtain “zápočet” it is necessary to create a home project program and successfully pass the practical programming test
• Next, there will be home-works assigned during the semester (each week a single homework)
  • It is necessary to submit at least half of homeworks
  • Homeworks will be announced during practicals and submitted via Teams
• The home project has to non-trivially exploiting a covered technology.
• The project has to be appropriately complex.
  • The topic of the project has to be agreed (by email) with the lecturer till 21^st May 2021. “Agreed” means that the topic is suggested by a student and confirmed by the lecturer.
  • The project should be submitted till the end of June; the latest deadline is 21^st September 2021.
    • The project is submitted by email; only if it is necessary the project is shown personally.
    • The project is submitted as a zip archive, which contains:
      • sources,
      • build.xml file for ant (allows compilation, javadoc generation, and execution of the project),
        • Maven or Gradle can be used too
      • user documentation (as a plain-text or html or pdf) so the project can be launched and tested,
      • explicitly specified version of Java, which is necessary for compilation and execution (ideally specified directly in build.xml or pom.xml)
