The main objective of this course is to explore advanced topics of the object oriented paradigm through the use of the C++ programming language. Topics covered include: advanced object oriented design, the use of abstraction to manage complexity, objects and classes, inheritance and class hierarchies, multiple inheritance, operator and method overloading, namespaces and visibility, templates, dynamic binding and virtual functions, exception handling, multi-threading and C++ standard library. In addition, the course will include a practical project, solving a real-life problem, implemented in C++, involving the client/server methodology, and an interface to a database using a graphics toolkit. (Prerequisites: COMP-2120, COMP-2560.) (3 lecture hours a week)
Class location and time: Tuesdays from 7:00 P.M. to 9:50 P.M. in Erie Hall 3123. This course has no labs.
