Projet de programmation (en Java) from Coursera

Ce « cours » n'est pas un cours au sens strict du terme mais un projet.

La pratique étant essentielle dans l'apprentissage de programmation,

nous avons conçu de cours-projet pour vous permettre de consolider vos

acquis en programmation Java. Il est décomposé en 14 étapes (sur 7

semaines) dont le but est de vous permettre de mettre en pratique, à

grande échelle, les concepts et techniques appris dans nos deux

précédents MOOCs (https://www.coursera.org/learn/initiation-programmation-java/ et https://www.coursera.org/learn/programmation-orientee-objet-java/)

Les principaux objectifs visés :

+ d'exposer d'avantage certaines problématiques typiques de conception OO,

difficiles à illustrer sur des exercices simples ;

+ d'introduire par la pratique certaines méthodologies de

conception (ce que l'on appelle des patrons de conception) ;

+ de vous apprendre à mettre en oeuvre une approche incrémentale

et des tests progressifs lors de l'élaboration de programmes de

plus grande envergure.

Ce que vous aurez à faire c'est, étape par étape, de

+ lire et comprendre la donnée,

+ comprendre les problématiques de conception sous-jacentes et

comment nous vous proposons de les résoudre,

+ coder votre solution,

+ et enfin, bien sûr, la soumettre au correcteur automatique.

Ainsi progressivement vous développerez tout un projet, en l’occurrence

la simulation d'une colonie de fourmis, tout en approfondissant vos

connaissances OO.

Reviews summary

Projet de programmation java: course project practice

This course is a project-based course that provides practice in Java programming. It is a good course for students who want to improve their Java programming skills and learn more about object-oriented programming.

Students will get very good practice in Java.

"Good JAVA Programming practise."

"perfect project, I recommend it strongly to anyone who wants to get out of trivial programming projects for a while!"

The instructions for the course are sometimes unclear.

"Les énoncés ne sont pas toujours claires"

"il faut revoir les enoncers car des fois le but n'est pas claire surtout les premières semaines"

The course covers challenging concepts.

"Ces nouveaux concepts sont d'ailleurs parfois très ardus; il m'a souvent fallu googler, et même demander de l'aide pour comprendre des points comme le "double dispatch" !"
