Course Description
This course teaches students how to deal with data persistence in software systems. Students learn to model data and use mathematical models to normalize them to avoid redundancy. Backed by theory, they will learn to design database schemes to persist and retrieve application data in an optimal way and consider its representation in the object-oriented system design. This course will walk through the structured query languages and object-oriented design languages used by modern frameworks like Java Persistence API. Students will gain the industry practice of object-relational mapping to connect the benefits of object-oriented design and relational data models.
