The objective of this module is to introduce advanced concepts and technologies of the Java Standard Edition. The students will be able to use the technologies to implement large applications.

Professional competence:
The students:

• name the essential packages of the JDK class library
• structure large programs properly and implement them extensively
• set up own Java class libraries
• look up required classes in the JDK-Library and solve problems with these classes
• structure their programs properly
• understand and interpret large programs of other students
• evaluate the quality of large programs related to their maintainability, reuseability and expandability

Methodological competence:
The students:

• search for solutions to specific problems in the internet independently

Social competence:
The students:

• discuss own and solutions of other students

Self-competence:
The students:

• reflect their problem-solving behaviour and take up new solutions, e.g. from the internet

A selection of the following subjects is presented during the lectures:

• GUI (AWT, Swing, JavaFX)
• Java-Basics and Collection-API
• Graphics and multimedia
• Events
• Model-View-Control (MVC)
• Threads
• Internationalization, localization
• Reflection
• IO, Files
• Tools (compiler, classloader, printer, ...)
• Storage technologies (XML and serialization)
• Distributed programming (sockets and RMI)
• Databases (JDBC)
• Compression
• Security concepts

Alternatively, a single topic is explored in depth.
As part of the exercises, individual programming tasks or a larger programming task will be worked on. The tasks are related to the topic of the individual lecture contents.
