Lecturer: Miloš Kosanović
Course objectives:
The course main objective is to teach students the basics of software development. Other goals are to
teach and enable students to think algorithmically, to enable them to analyze and breakdown real-life
problem into algorithmic steps, and then implement these steps in some programming language (in this
case C#). Student will also learn to recognize and use basic and advanced data structures like arrays,
strings, multidimensional arrays, hash tables, stack and queues. They will learn to write, compile, build
and debug program in Visual Studio 2015. Prior knowledge is not needed. Special attention will be given
to practical work, coding, and the usage of available online services that enable student to learn
programming concepts through practical examples and games.

Topic: Introduction to relational databases

Lecturer: Milan Zdravkovid
Course objectives: To achieve understanding of designing and manipulating relational data structures

Course outcomes: Main desired outcomes are:

- Ability of participants to independently design relational data structures of moderate

complexity.
- Ability of participants to independently develop SQL queries for the web projects of
moderate complexity
Theoretical teaching topics: Different techniques and approaches for information modeling. Relational
Database Management Systems – main concepts, definition, architecture. Conceptual design of
databases – Entity-Relationship (ER) modeling. Logical database design: datatypes, transformation of
conceptual to logical database design, Implementation of database by using SQL language, Data
constraints, Referential integrity. Physical database design: schema normalization and denormalization,
SQL query optimization and indexing, application and security aspects of the database design (access
control, data audit), different functions of the RDBMS (views, stored procedures, triggers, transactions).
Data view and manipulation by using SQL: data inserting, data deletion, data updates, viewing data
(sorting, viewing data from multiple tables, basic data processing, working with time and date functions,
subqueries, aggregate queries). SQL query optimization – continuation.

Practical exercises: Exercising basic information modeling: for the given form, define concepts, their
characteristics, their constraints and their relationships. Exercising hierarchical data modeling: for the
given website, develop XML schema. Using draw.io service for drawing ER models. Exercising basic
understanding of the ER concepts: for the number of given short and longer sentences, identify concepts
and relationships and draw basic ER models. Exercising understanding of data and relation properties:
for the given narrative text, design ER models. Exercising advanced ER concepts, namely, identificators,
complex and multi-valued attributes, weak entities, asociative entities, cardinality and modality,
relationships with optional and mandatory entity participation, identifying and non-identifying
relationships, recursive relationships: for the given narrative text, design ER models. Exercising
transformation of conceptual to logical database design: for the given conceptual ER model, design
database schema, by using WWW SQL designer web service. MySQL software installation and
customization. SQL exercises: for the given texts and given database designs, develop the set of INSERT,
UPDATE and SELECT queries.

Evaluation: The overall grade is composed of the partial assessments of homework (20% of overall
grade, total of 3 homework assignments), final exam (50% of overall grade, practical test with the
narrative form of requirements which need to be transposed to a logical and physical database design +
narrative functional requirements for the given database structure which need to be transposed to SQL
queries) and participants engagement during class assignments (30% of overall grade, include trainers
personal assessment of the participants skills).

Course duration: The course is 40 classess long (36 for lectures and practical work, 4 for a final exam).
The 4 classes blocks will be implemented by day.

Curriculum
The first day should be the general introduction into the course topics and the software
development cycle in general. The content and the learning pace will depend on the
candidate’s previous knowledge and experience. The remaining 5 days will follow the rule: 2
school classes of lecture, 2 school classes of practical work. The goal of the course will be to
follow the development of one real life project example from its inception to the first
production release of the product. It will be requested from the candidates to create a team for
the project, analyze the requirements, specify high level requirements, create the tasks or user
stories, describe the testing and quality procedures and describe their solution to the real life
problems.

Grading

2. Lecturer will grade each student based on general impression with 30%.
3. Final ABCD test and project (which will contain requirements specification document) will be
graded with 50%

The student will pass each test if he has correctly answered more than 50% of the questions. The
student will pass the course if he has more than 50% of points.

Tests
The test questions and the topic of the project assignment will not be disclosed due to
confidentiality reasons.
