Corso di laurea magistrale in Informatica

This teaching contributes to the educational objectives of the software 
development area of ​​the Master's Degree in Computer Science The course aims
 to provide students with an overview of mission critical systems 
development technologies with particular emphasis on industrial solutions for 
e-Business, including hints of Cloud Computing. Provide students with Project 
Management methodologies and tools to allow them to manage the development 
of Software projects from analysis to testing. The basics of Project Management
 combined with the application of the Agile Software Engineering methodology 
will be applied to the development of the project carried out in 
the laboratory. The teaching allows students to familiarize themselves 
with terminologies commonly used in modern industry such as: component
 development, multilevel architectures, middleware. For the laboratory part, 
a complete application is created based on: UML model, three-tier architecture, 
component model and Microservices with Spring in Java and Android applications. 
Particular attention to integration with Cloud environments and social networks,
 as an example of integration of heterogeneous services. Furthermore, 
the Dev ops and Continuos Integration methodologies will be applied, using GIT, 
Maven and Microservices architectures, with Docker and Kubernetes. 
The themes introduced during the laboratory project complement and 
integrate the knowledge deriving from the theoretical part
 (knowledge and understanding), at the same time presenting realistic 
problems of construction of a complex application, also investigating 
alternative solutions (applying knowledge and understanding). 
The preparation, the intermediate presentations and the discussion
 of the project are aimed at stimulating the ability to organize work 
in small groups (2-3 students), and then to verbally illustrate the solutions 
adopted (communication skills). .

The student will acquire the knowledge of software architectures, and will
 have to be able to think about Web architectures for large enterprise systems,
 based on the experience of the laboratory project. The student will be able 
to participate in the development of a software project, also using knowledge 
related to Agile development methodologies and also using elements of Agile 
Project Management. Furthermore the student will be able to design Spring 
a Microservices using the Docker container and Kubernetes.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

Acquisition of design methodologies and implementation of a Java application with Microservices architecture.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Acquisition of the use of linguistic tools of object-oriented languages ​​to address the application to programming of multi-paradigm languages, methodologies and tools.

AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
Acquisition of the basic criteria to determine how to set up a correct design and robust implementation of applications.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Acquisition and development of elements of the computer lexicon aimed at the design and implementation of applications using multi-paradigm languages, in particular during the Project Reviews.

LEARNING SKILLS
Acquisition of autonomous learning skills and self-assessment of one's own theoretical and practical preparation.

The Java 2 Enterprise architecture and the Spring framework. 
New solutions for Internet applications and electronic commerce

Web Services and UML standards. Outline of solutions for Enterprise Application Integration, Service Oriented Architecture, Microservices architecture, Cloud Computing Configuration management and version control PART OF THE LABORATORY: Definition and subsequent implementation of the application distributed in Java Spring with the use of IntelliJ. We will use UML (Unified Modeling Language) in the preliminary design of a distributed application. Both SOAP and RESTful Web Services will be built. In addition, the application will have to integrate services offered by the most well-known Open API, such as Facebook, Google and a part of the interface for new generation Smartphones (Android) will be developed. Use of the GIT version control system and the Cloud platform, Heroku. .

The teaching is divided into a theory part and a laboratory part, 
very connected to each other. For the theory part, there are 72 hours 
of frontal lessons that follow the program shown below, supplemented by 
case studies and exercises aimed at illustrating the practical application 
of the concepts just studied. The laboratory part is integrated into the course,
 in this part the students will carry out a laboratory project, 
starting from the proposal with relative presentation, up to the complete 
implementation of the application, showing the working demo, accompanied by 
the presentation of the design phases . The lessons take place in an 
interactive way and are accompanied by various exercises aimed at providing 
practical examples. 
We will also follow the University's instructions regarding streaming for 
students who cannot attend in person. We will certainly provide for 
the recording of the lessons, providing the material used in the course 
together with the recordings on the Moodle platform.

The exam consists of: For the purposes of determining the final grade, 
the exam of the teaching is divided into 2 parts. 1. Discussion on the 
mandatory final laboratory project. This presentation is done in groups
 and is worth 50% of the vote. Presentation must be using screen sharing
 on WebEx in order to maintain safe distance. 2. Compulsory individual 
oral on the more theoretical part of the course, it also serves to identify 
any undetected gaps in the presentation of the laboratory project and the
 other 50% of the vote is obtained. For the laboratory part, exercises are
 carried out in the laboratory that allow you to complete the final project
 by composing the technologies developed in the exercises. This combines 
well with the Extreme Programming methodology which suggests the execution 
of Spikes to provide a more correct planning of the project. These exercises
 favor the gradual assimilation of the topics introduced during the course.
 Furthermore, 2 intermediate presentations are required, which aim to provide
 Milestones of the project and to allow students to practice the presentation
 of a work, as well as to apply Project Management methodologies such as 
Project Reviews. The final exercise generally consists of a more demanding
 project, and requires the development of an application in which the student
 must demonstrate mastery of the concepts and tools presented during the
 laboratory and the students must present the results using a presentation
 scheme that it is used during in-between presentations.

During the entire duration of the course, tutoring activities will be carried out, optional and
additional to those specific to teaching, for revision in the classroom
of some topics. Small group activities in
link on WebEx.
