Object-oriented programming - COMP2005J

Undergraduate Course, UCD, BDIC, 2021

The Object Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm is a key aspect of modern computer programming, having become the dominant programming paradigm in large-scale industrial software development. This module introduces students to object-oriented concepts such as classes, objects, message passing, encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, genericity and software reuse. We will look at how these constructs are used to construct high-quality programs.There is a strong emphasis on practical program development.

On successful completion of this module students should be able to describe the key aspects of object-oriented programming and their inter-relationships; design, implement and debug object-oriented programs of moderate complexity; assess the quality of a simple object-oriented design.
