Objetivos

It is intended that students acquire knowledge, skills and competences in the development of applications for communication between systems (client-server methodology), with a main focus on server-side programming and the development of a game with multiplayer characteristics.

• Students should know and understand the differences between synchronous and asynchronous requests.


• Students should know languages and technologies used for server-side programming, namely Node.js


• Students must show an aptitude for designing a Web server/API.


• Students must demonstrate skills for the development and implementation of a Web server/API.


• Students must show aptitude and demonstrate skills for teamwork.


• Students must show aptitude and demonstrate communication skills.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

The program content defined for this curricular unit will allow students to develop a server-side application that communicates with different types of applications, also developed during the semester, namely a game in Unity or a Web application. The fundamental concepts of Programming, Programming for the Web and programming of videogames will be covered, with a main focus on programming of the server side and in multiplayer game development.
