Course description
Java and C# in depth
Abstract: Java and C#, both similar and each with its own characteristics, are important languages with wide applications. This course goes into the depth of both languages, each considered for itself but also in comparison with the other.
Objective: This course provides students with an in-depth understanding of:
- The language design philosophy behind Java.
- The language design philosophy behind C#.
- The key language mechanisms of both languages, and how to use them.
- The main properties differentiating the languages.
- Introduction, object-oriented concepts.
- Basic types and control flow.
- Classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism.
- Packages/assemblies, abstract classes and interfaces.
- Exceptions and genericity.
- Data Structures in practice.
- Reflection.
- Threads and Concurrency.
- Persistence.
- Networking.
- Design choices comparison.

Grading: The assessment consists of a project (50%), and a written semester end exam (50%). During the exam paper documents are allowed (lecture notes, books, written documents...), while electronic devices are forbidden (cell phones, laptops, calculators...). The only way to get a grade is to submit the project and take the written exam. This applies regardless of your department or status. The performance assessment is only offered at the end after the course unit. Repetition is only possible after re-enrolling.
