CS504070 — Service-Oriented Architecture

Spring, 2023

Course Description

This course provides students with fundamental knowledge in software development based on service-oriented architecture. After completing this course, students can know how to classify services towards business processes; besides that, students can also program a small service-oriented-based information system, and understand types of message exchange, life cycle, performance and security of the service. Each semester, the lecturer will choose some specific topics and organize them into lecture and hands-on-practice sessions. This semester, we will organize the course into three parts. In the first part, we take one week to present some fundamental definitions of SOA and get familiar with the RESTful API through some example programs. In the second part, we will present Flask by taking a demonstration on a real-world application. We organize the third part as a self-study to present how to program APIs with Java programming language. We note that there are some prerequisites before registering and studying this course. You need to be familiar with programming languages such as Java and Python. You also need to have a good background in databases, either SQL or NoSQL.
