Assignments

• Required: Java style guide: all submitted code should conform.

IntelliJ in CSIL; click for details

• IntelliJ is installed in CSIL labs (Linux OS; Surrey and Burnaby).
  • Suggested lab: SRYE 4013 (new building); but other SRYE labs likely OK too.
  • Run by pressing Windows key, and then "IntelliJ".
  • If IntelliJ locks up (while building, or while browsing /home/ folder, for example), then from a terminal run:
    $ ps -A | grep Java
    $ kill ###
    (where ### is the process ID shown by ps)

Assignment 4

• Assignment 4 Assignment description.
  • Marking guide.
• Part 1: Shapes
  • Provided code
  • Reference screen shots
• Part 2: REST API
  • You may use the posted solution to Assignment 3 if desired. You may modify this in any way.
  • REST API specification
  • Web client: download the file and extract so you have a /public folder in the root of your Spring Boot project. Then run your program and browse to http://localhost:8080/.
  • REST API Data Transfer Objects (DTO): Classes which, when serialized, contain the information the web client needs. Edit these and implement static factor methods to create the objects correctly.
  • Postman queries to exercise back-end REST API
  • Videos
    • Video of fort web client -- This talks about "tanks", but it's just a slightly different version of the same basic game.
    • Video on getting started with Spring Boot in IntelliJ. [Updated 2023]
    • Video on creating a REST API with Spring Boot in IntelliJ.
    • Using Postman to test a REST API.
• Assignment due (all at once) on Tuesday, March 19th by 11:59pm.
• Solutions folder.

Assignment 5

• Assignment description
• Marking guide
• REST API
  • REST API documentation
  • Postman queries to exercise back-end REST API.
    • Use collection's variables tab to set IDs for your system
    • Screenshots of Postman queries (your IDs will be different!)
  • curl commands script
  • API data transfer object (DTO) classes which the provided web front-end will work with.
    Tip: If your model exposes the necessary objects with fields (or getters) named the same way as these classes then you may be able to just skip using these entirely. However, they may be useful to ensure you are sending the correct info to the front-end.
• Files and Resources
  • Input data files (.csv)
  • Web UI (extract into project root, as in Assignment 4)
  • Demo video of using Web UI
  • SFU Term Codes
    For semester XYZA:
    Year = 1900 + 100*X + 10*Y + 1*Z;
    Semester (A) = {1=Spring, 4=Summer, 7=Fall}
    Ex: Term code 1147 = 2014 Fall
• Due dates:
  Phase 1: Model working. Thursday April 4th
  Phase 2: Complete submission. Thursday April 11th
• Solutions folder.

Policies

• Assignment Late Policy
  Assignments may be turned in up to 4 days late with 0% penalty. Later than this is 100% penalty (60 minute grace period). Contact the instructor if there are extenuating circumstances.
• Extensions and Deferrals
  Email Dr. Brian with your request. You may need to complete and email SFU Academic Concession Self-Declaration Form. Doctor's notes are usually not required.
• Academic Honesty
  • The MOSS tool will be used to check the originality of all electronic submissions.
  • SFU's Academic Honesty policy is crucial to earning credit in this course. Violations of the policy will be taken seriously and reported to the department and university.
  • Explanation of penalties applied for academic dishonesty.
• AI Policy
  • Students may use AI tools (such as GitHub's Copilot, or ChatGPT) to support their programming.
  • You must do the high-level design yourself and be able to write all submitted code on your own (even if you used help from the AI).
  • You should use the AI to code no more than a few lines at a time: do not have it write all lines of code.
  • You must add a comment to any functions that you used the AI's help to write more than 5 line of code.
  • Code written exclusively by, or with the help of an AI system is still governed by the academic honesty policies of the course and university. If a significant number of lines of code, or detailed/critical code is found not to be the student's work, then that work will get a zero. If the copied code was not cited correctly (from either a human or AI source) then it will be considered a case of academic dishonesty and the entire assignment may get a grade of 0 and a report on file with the university.
  • Note that AI tools are not available during exams, and exams make up the bulk of the percentage for the course.
