The objective of this lab is to install and configure your development workstation and to bring into focus some of the terms and concepts covered in the opening lecture.

Evolve the application developed in lab01 into a simple command line app. Incorporate commands for creating, deleting and listing users. Explore List, ArrayList, Map, HashMap in this context and introduce the guava and cliche libraries.

Extend the pacemaker application to include Activity and Location classes + associated commands. Once these are in place, incorporate a serialization mechanism to enable users & activities to be persisted to a file. We will then try to generalize this mechanism, which will enable us to experiment with alternative serialization formats.

Equip Pacemaker with JUnit libraries and then introduce a range of tests to verify essential features. Correct issues that arise as a result of the tests, becoming familiar with the fail/pass/refactor/pass cycle. Review the outstanding command set of the application. We will use JUnit 4 in this lab.

Refactor pacemaker to employ uuid instead of long ids. Unsure the tests as still passing as we make this transition. Make a start command line formatting features.

In the previous lab, you installed Maven. In this lab, we will incorporate Maven into our pacemaker-console-lab05 solution. We will also use Maven to bring JUnit5 capabilities into Eclipse.

Develop a baseline for Assignment 2, to include a simplified version of pacemaker application developed so far

Evolve a simple Rest service from the existing pacemaker-skeleton app using the Javalin microframework.

Implement a new project that will be a client of the pacemaker-skeleton application.

Complete the API + write a range of unit tests to exercises the features. Deploy the service to the cloud.

Introduce a new project, an implementation of the service in Kotlin.
