Aims
At the completion of this course, the students will be able to:
a) have a systematic knowledge concerning application development methodologies
b) be familiarized with the modern concepts and preocupations in the field of developing application software
c) know the use of computer-aided software development tools
Content
1. Fundamentals of .NET and C#
- .NET platform: comparison with Java platform
- C# language: comparison with Java language

2. .NET Libraries
- Collections
- IO
- Delegation, events
- Graphical user interfaces

3. Reflection
- Reflection in Java and .NET
- Dynamic loading of Java classes
- .NET late binding and dynamic loading of assemblies
- Applying reflection to: persistence, abstract factory, interface dependencies, and dynamic replacement of

interface implementation


4. Client-Server applications based on TCP communication
- Communication between applications using TCP
- Model client-server applications that use TCP communication
- Creating and starting threads in Java and .NET
- Client applications in Java and C#
