CIS 3280, CIS 8130. CSP: I, II, III, IV, V, VI

Design Patterns, 1995 & Object-Oriented Software, 1992 Jacobson, Gamma, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company

This course introduces object-oriented software development using an object-oriented programming language such as C + +. Emphasis is placed on both object-oriented design and efficient implementation of the design. Topics include: principles of software engineering, management issues, and the prototyping, development, testing, debugging, and maintenance of software systems. The central theme is to build quality software through reuse.

Object-oriented technology is becoming more important because it allows for efficient and effective development of quality software. This course builds on CIS 813 and will provide an in-depth treatment of object-oriented development in C++. Students will learn how to design and develop complex software systems via class projects. Topics include object-oriented design, implementation in C++, developing reusable software components, object-oriented software metrics, and management issues. Modern tools for the design of software systems, graphical user interfaces (GUI), client/server applications, and database design are introduced as implementation vehicles.

Upon successfully completing this course, a student will:

1. Understand object-oreinted design methodologies
2. Understand implementation techniques for object-oriented design of information systems
3. Be able to implement software systems using the object-oriented language C++
4. Develop reusable software components and integrate software from reusable software components
5. Be able to test, debug, and deliver object-oriented software systems
6. Be familiar with modern object-oriented systems including CASE tools and libraries
