Syllabus
1. Debugging
The first week starts from basic errors that occur at compile time and at run time when developing programs, and introduces debugging as a powerful and flexible strategy to detect and correct errors. The Eclipse IDE Debugger will be used to illustrate the debugging process with practical examples. 2. Reasoning & Testing
The second week addresses formal mechanisms to test that programs do what is expected of them, introducing unit testing processes, particularized in the JUnit framework for testing programs written in the Java language. 3. Complexity
The third week analyzes programs from the point of view of efficiency in the use of resources, such as computation time and storage, and presents simple mechanisms to improve the efficiency of Java programs. 4. Software Engineering
The fourth week introduces basic principles of software engineering with the aim to improve robustness, modularity, reusability and maintainability of programs. 5. Ethics
The last week studies ethical issues related to software development, including privacy, legal issues, intellectual property rights, and social ramifications.
