Java Capstone Series Pt. 1

Angeboten von Dr. Thomas Staubitz, Ralf Teusner
Java Capstone Series Pt. 1

The Java Capstone Series is a completely new course format.

Fewer videos and more hands-on activities.
Together, we will develop small Java projects from scratch to transform knowledge into competencies.

For the first iteration we will develop a little game, e.g. Pong or BreakOut.

The idea is to work on these projects in teams, but if you prefer you can also work alone. This format is completely new for us as well. We see ourselves rather as co-learners and facilitators than as teachers.

Until the course will officially start in mid-September, we have prepared a short survey consisting of basically just one question: What do you expect from this course? Topics, approaches, tools, tasks,...

The Java Capstone Series is a completely new course format.

For the first iteration we will develop a little game, e.g. Pong or BreakOut.

We will certainly not be able to integrate the complete wish-list in this first iteration of the course, but we hope that further iterations will follow, so that we will be able to cover many of them sooner or later.

The prerequisite for this course is a basic understanding of the Java programming language concepts.

You should have successfully completed one of the Java courses on our platforms

https://open.hpi.de/courses/javaeinstieg2017
https://open.sap.com/courses/java1

or have a similar body of knowledge.

P.S.: For those of you who already have participated in one of our previous workshops, we've tried to incorporate a lot of the feedback that we've received from the learners in these courses:

  • Most of all: Slow down. The projects are taking smaller steps. The idea is to offer a series of these workshops.
  • Let the learners start from scratch. We will no more give you broken source code that needs to be fixed, but we will start with a completely empty project from scratch.

The timeline for this course will be as follows:

Registration for teams open: Thursday, September 6, 2018 11:59:00 AM (UTC)
Deadline for team registration: Thursday, September 13, 2018 11:59:00 AM (UTC)
Start peer assessment: Friday, September 14, 2018 12:01:00 PM (UTC)
Deadline submission: Friday, September 27, 2018 11:59:00 AM (UTC)
Deadline evaluation: Friday, October 4, 2018 11:59:00 AM (UTC)
Deadline results: Monday, October 8, 2018 11:59:00 AM (UTC)
