| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To provide students with an introduction to the principles of object oriented programming including the modelling, design, implementation and testing of such programs. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Identify the main elements of an object oriented language and describe the software development problems that these features are meant to overcome. |
| 2 | Use an API to design, implement and test solutions to software development problems using interacting objects. |
| 3 | Make use of standard collection structures, together with appropriate algorithms, to solve programming problems. |
| 4 | Demonstrate a structured approach to software design and provide a concise description of the relationships between objects in the software development process. |
| 5 | Identify and assess security concerns and mitigate elements of risk in the software development process. |
| Indicative Module Content |
