Advanced Concepts in Object Orientation |
| Credits: |

credits |
| Prerequisite: |

| Links: |

| Course
Description: |
The focus in this course is on the abstraction,
specification, and object-oriented design of computer programs in advanced skills. The student
will learn to construct reliable, high-quality software, and will be deeply familiar with
current notions of object-oriented specification, design, and programming, The emphasis is
on modularity: how to get the components and interfaces right and how to organize a program
as a collection of reliable components through interfaces. The C++, Java programming languages
are used as a vehicle for learning these concepts even thought the techniques presented are
language independent. Programming skills will be developed in an accompanying Laboratory section.
