Learning Outcomes:

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

Students will use C++ to implement the basic concepts in object-oriented programming (OOP). Topics include: the OOP programming paradigm including analysis and design; a survey of related languages; data hiding and encapsulation; inheritance; and polymorphism.

LO categories:

Basic OOP

Abstraction

Encapsulation

Polymorphism

Inheritance

Data Structures (general or implied complex like stacks, queues etc)

Variables, assignment, arithmetic expressions, declarations, data types

Exception Handling

Simple Graphics & GUIs

Multi Threading & Concurrency
