Learning objectives

To learn and understand the importance of user interfaces for efficient computer usage. To learn basic principles and structure of the application and user interface development tools. To get acquainted with the history of such development tools and probable future development. To experience the user interface development on a series of examples. To learn about the common building blocks of the user interfaces. To get familiar with properties of the building blocks in Windows, and understand the differences in X-Window or iOS implementations. To get the important skills needed in the development of applications for real-life and student projects.
The students will learn and understand the importance of user interfaces for efficient computer usage. They will learn basic principles and structure of the application and user interface development tools; get acquainted with the history of such development tools and the probable future development. They will experience the user interface development on a series of examples, learn about the common building blocks of the user interfaces, and get familiar with properties of the building blocks in Windows, and understand the differences in X-Window or iOS implementations. They will also get the important skills needed in the development of applications. The students will learn to search team partners and to work in a team. They will also improve their skills in development tools usage and also in practical programming.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Basic knowledge of C/C++ programming.

Syllabus of lectures

User Interface Programming in English is here.

Syllabus of computer exercises

During the exercises, small tasks will be solved and the exercises will be scored on an ongoing basis. Practiced technologies are WinAPI, Qt, WPF, web/AJAX and GUI testing design. The work on the exercise is individual and the final solution must be author's.

Syllabus - others, projects and individual work of students

Project in duration throughout the course. The aim of the project is to design, implement, test and evaluate the user interface. The evaluation of the project will focus on these attributes. Projects are solved in teams. The submission of the project takes place electronically and must be accompanied by a defense and demonstration of the results. Defense and demonstration is mandatory and is only possible after electronic submission. The evaluation of the solution must describe the important elements of the solution. The documentation includes everything related to project development, implementation and testing. The defense of the project will be in the exercise laboratories. All dates are posted in the IS.

Progress assessment

  • Final test - up to 20 points
  • Evaluated computer laboratories - up to 25 points
  • Individual projects - up to 55 points

 


The monitored activities include individual project, test and evaluated computer laboratories. The test does not have a correction term.
