Written or oral exam; Successful participation in the exercise is a prerequisite for the exam.

The goal of this course is to provide knowledge on how design and programming techniques can improve the effectiveness of developers throughout the software lifecycle. In addition to classic topics such as design and architecture patterns, design heuristics, and framework design, we will learn about a wide range of tools and programming techniques, for example for refactoring or implementing domain-specific languages. You will learn techniques from both research and industrial practice and deepen your knowledge by reading scientific articles and experimenting with practical tools.

Students are able to understand and apply design techniques such as design patterns. They can evaluate a software design and understand the trade-offs between modularity, extensibility, performance, etc. Students will be able to use technical terminology to describe the relationship between programming languages and design techniques and will be able to use advanced programming techniques in modern programming languages to design software.
