Abstract

The following paper is based on our experience of teaching a Java-based module in software technology. Its aim was to equip Master's students embarking on a bioinformatics course with a comprehensive set of programming skills and an appreciation of some of the fundamental issues in computing. The module was built around a five-day taught component, supplemented by a background reading exercise and a short project. We discuss the circumstances in which the module was created, the thinking behind our choice of content, the means of presentation, and the outcome of the teaching and learning process. Further we identity some of the lessons learnt from the experience.
