Course Description

A student of Develop Software (Part 1) will create a properly layered and encapsulated object-oriented application using the Java programming language. This course provides the groundwork needed to create a fully integrated networked software application in Develop Software (Part 2).

The three fundamental layers of object-oriented application development will be thoroughly explained and practically experienced:
1) The Presentation layer provides a user interface that formats and displays data, and controls user input.
2) The Business Logic layer provides the functionality and rules that define how the software operates.
3) The Data Access layer controls interaction between the application and persistent storage (database).

The student will analyse, design and implement a Java application modelled on this three-layer design pattern.
