CS220: Programming Methodology

Course Description: The goal of COMPSCI220 Programming Methodology is to turn you into an advanced programmer with a deep understanding of modern programming methodology. We will emphasize good software engineering skills, including programming abstractions, testing, and debugging. Although the programming language that we will use is JavaScript, we will emphasize general programming principles. Everything that you will learn in the class will be applicable to other modern languages, including (for example) C++, C#, D, Go, Java, Python, Rust, and Swift.

My Course Reflection

I took this course in Fall 2023. A lot of design patterns, and software engineering principles taught by professor Marius Minea. This course is indeed very time consuming, and but it is super worth and rewarding. You learn how to write good code and think more critically about the code you write. The course is very project-based and intense. Project every single week was a lot of work, but it was a great learning experience. It was great to learn about typescript, observables, promises, async/await, and building an interpreters, and fluent design, black box testing, and functional programming.

Code demonstration for Typescript

type HTTPMethod = 'GET' | 'POST' | 'PUT' | 'DELETE';
type HTTPStatus = 200 | 201 | 204 | 400 | 401 | 403 | 404 | 500;
type HTTPRequest = {
    method: HTTPMethod;
    url: string;
    headers: Record<string, string>;
    body: string;
};
