Outline

Together with its companion module MSc Software Workshop 2, this module introduces and develops object oriented design and programming skills. It introduces the Java programming language as an example of an object oriented programming language and develops software development skills through Java.

Aims

The aims of this module are to:

  • Introduce and develop object oriented design and programming skills.
  • Introduce the Java programming language as an example of an object oriented programming language.
  • Introduce types, classes, objects, methods, inheritance, and exceptions.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module, the student should be able to: Assessed by:
1 Demonstrate an understanding of types, classes, objects, methods, inheritance, and exceptions To be confirmed
2 Demonstrate an understanding of and use object oriented analysis and design processes To be confirmed
3 Demonstrate an understanding of recursion and the use of recursive data structures To be confirmed
4 Explain methods and techniques for program testing To be confirmed
5 Explain the rationale for the use of object oriented programming and its limitations To be confirmed
