A deep understanding of these techniques and their capabilities is required in order to fully exploit their potential. The objectives of this course are: * to provide the students with a deep understanding of how high level programming concepts and metaphors map into executable systems and which are their costs and limitations * to acquaint the students with modern principles, techniques, and best practices of advanced software construction * to introduce the students to techniques of programming at higher abstraction levels, in particular generative programming, component programming and web computing * to present state-of-the-art frameworks incorporating these techniques. This course will provide a deep understanding of modern software technologies, so that the students will be able to evaluate the effects of each design choice through all levels of a software architecture, in terms of performance, reliability, adaptability and integrability into larger systems. The course is a required course for the [[http://compass2.di.unipi.it/didattica/wif18/|Laurea Magistrale in Informatica]], and contributes to prepare professionals for the role of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_architect| software architect]]. ====== Syllabus ====== - Programming Language Foundations - Syntax, Parsing, Abstract Syntax Tree, Parser Generators - Names, Scope, Binding - Parameter Passing - Static and Dynamic Allocation: Stack, Heap - Types, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Virtual Functions, Overloading - Delegates, Closures - Exception Handling - Run-Time Systems - Virtual Execution Environment - Memory Management - Thread Management - Exception Handling - Security - Debugging Support - AOT and JIT Compilation - Dynamic Link/Load - Reflection - Examples - JVM - CLR - Verification - Language Interoperability - Generic Programming - C++ templates - Java Generics - C# Generics - Bounded Polymorphism - Class Frameworks - Object-Oriented Programming and Frameworks - Inversion of control - Dependency Injection - Generative Programming - MetaProgramming - Reflection - Template C++ - Aspect Oriented Programming - Runtime code generation: LINQ - Generators - Program optimization and transformation - Partial evaluation - Interoperability - Process level: interprocess communication - Language level: CORBA/IDL - Object level: DCOM - Component Based Programming - COM - JavaBeans - .NET Components - OSGi - Web Services - XML, XML-Schema - SOAP, RPC, Rest - WSDL - UDDI - Service Components - Service Oriented Architecture - Microservices - Flow Based Programming - Scaling - Map/Reduce - CUDA Architecture - Web Frameworks and Applications - Asp.Net - AJAX - jQuery - Symfony - HTML 5 - Scripting - Perl, Python, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby ====== Lecture Notes ====== ^ Date ^ Lecture ^ Notes ^ | 21/02/2017 | Motivation of the course | {{:magistraleinformatica:pa:intro.ppt|Introduction |
