The following contents will be included.

REST API
Microservice Architecture
Designing and implementing a back-end service with a REST API
Documenting a REST API
Testing the REST API
Implementing an application that consumes the services provided by the REST API
Using professional tools

The programming language is Python.

6 personal assignments.

Further information

The course will be arranged mostly onsite at the ICT building.

There will be an itsLearning environment for the course. Teams will be used during possible online lessons.

The students must install Virtual Box and the image on their own computers. The instructor will prepare and share the image with students.

Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment methods and criteria

6 personal assignments: 60 points
Two team works: Theoretical 10 points and practical 30 points = 40 points.

The assignments must be returned by the deadline to get the points. The student must participate in the demonstrations. The assignments returned after the deadline and/or without participating in the demos will give only half of the points.

The student must get at least 30 points (of which at least 25 from the personal assignments) to pass the course.

The grading scale (points -> grade):

30 points -> 1
50 points -> 2
70 points -> 3
80 points -> 4
90 points -> 5
