PREREQUISITES : Grade of C or better in CS 211.

DESCRIPTION :

In-depth study of software design and implementation using a modern, object-oriented language with support for graphical user interfaces and complex data structures. Topics covered will be specifications, design patterns, and abstraction techniques, including typing, access control, inheritance, and polymorphism. Students will learn the proper engineering use of techniques such as information hiding, classes, objects, inheritance, exception handling, event-based systems, and concurrency.

Course Outcomes :

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

• Demonstrate high-level knowledge of software development process. (b, i)
• Demonstrate competence in Object-Oriented modeling using UML (a, b, c, i, k)
• Demonstrate ability to apply Object-Oriented concepts given in C++ to Java and vice versa (i, k)
• Demonstrate knowledge of the Java Collections and I/O frameworks (i, k)
• Demonstrate generic programming in C++ (i, k)
• Demonstrate high-level knowledge of design patterns in C++ and Java (i, k)

Textbook(s):

Programming with Objects, A Comparative Presentation of Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and Java.
