Course detail
Development of Software Applications
FSI-R0S Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester
The course provides students with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in developing graphical user interfaces for complex responsive applications in MATLAB. Students will become familiar with modern design patterns such as MV, MVC, and MVCS, and learn how to implement them in practice. The course covers advanced techniques such as events, listeners, and callbacks, enabling the creation of interactive and dynamic applications.
Other key areas include hardware communication and multithreading, which are essential for applications that require continuous interaction with connected devices. Students will master advanced object-oriented programming in MATLAB to improve code structuring and component reusability. An important part of the course is ensuring code quality through unit testing, as well as familiarization with debugging and application optimization tools.
During the course, students will work on their own application, and upon completion, they will be capable of developing a full application, for instance, for their final thesis project.
