This course will cover the following topics:

- Java 8 and JavaFX 8

- Version control using GitHub

- Design patterns such as MVC

- Concurrent programming in Java

- GUI design, animation and 3D graphics using JavaFX

- Java web services

- Unit testing

All topics will be taught in the context of bioinformatics applications.

We will write a lot of code, so a keen interest in programming is essential.

This is not an introduction to Java, you must already know Java to participate in this course.

Weekly assignments are handed out in class and are posted on this webpage. We will setup GitHub-classrooms to work with.

We will discuss how to hand in your first assignment in the lecture on 18.4. Please enroll in the course using Ilias.

Tutorials will start in the week of April 25th.

In the second part of the course you will work on a bioinformatics software project.

In the past, there was one topic for all students to work on. This time, we might try providing a number of different topics for people to work on.

The following time-table is only an outline and is subject to changes.
