This course is a comprehensive introduction to object-oriented software development in the C++ programming language. The fundamentals of object-oriented design and programming are presented and related to features of C++. The syntax and behavior of C++ language elements and idioms are illustrated through discussion and demonstration.
The lectures cover the principles and techniques of object-oriented design and programming, notation used in object modeling, C++ class and interface design and construction. Specific language topics such as data types, variables, pointers, arrays, storage classes, function call convention, references, execution control, overloading, virtual member functions, single and multiple inheritance, member access control, "Orthodox Canonical Form", templates, the STL, and exception handling are covered. Topics in OO-Analysis and OO-Design include object identification, classification, CRC, use cases, UML and the iterative/incremental development cycle. As time permits, the course may also address related topics such as C++/Java contrasts, building on application frameworks, design patterns, or multithreaded programming.
This course is best suited to students with previous structured programming experience. Although the course covers much of C as background for C++, students with experience in C will be better able to focus on the OO/C++ aspects of the material.
Class meetings take the form of lectures and discussion. In addition to the lecture material, the course uses handouts, weekly reading assignments, and design and programming exercises.
Students are welcome to use any C++ compiler for the programming coursework, provided it supports current ANSI/ISO standards such as the Standard Template Library (STL) and exceptions. The instructor recommends Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0 or the latest version of GNU C++, both of which meet this requirement.
