CET 2300. Object-Oriented Programming. (3 Hours)
Discusses the fundamental principles of object-oriented programming (OOP) and associated concepts and definitions such as classes, objects, encapsulation, coupling, cohesion, inheritance, abstraction, polymorphisms, and generic dispatch. Provides contextual comparisons of programming paradigms drawing on simple examples and case studies, particularly of purely object-oriented, hybrid, and procedural programming. Examines applicability and illustrates techniques and idioms of OOP in the C++ language using a wide variety of in-class examples and via students’ assignments and small projects. Examines methods of OOP analysis and design via the Unified Modeling Language diagrams.
