| 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 | Describe object oriented software design and development methodology and be able to apply appropriate industry standard design notation such as UML and agile user story management to meet client needs. |
| 2 | Select, with justification, an appropriate set of tools to support the development of a range of software products that fit within the scope of client requirements and add value to the business. |
| 3 | Apply a variety of data structures and associated standard algorithms to solve programming problems in order to increase project efficiency and/or enhance product robustness. |
| 4 | Explain the foundations of custom software development that support the design and construction of software products, including the transformation of a design into an implementation, the tools used during this process, and formal software construction methods used to create products. |
| 5 | Describe the software development process as aligned to industry practice and standards compliance. |
| 6 | Define configuration management processes for use throughout the product development life cycle in storing software deliverables and controlling and tracking changes to software and use configuration management tools and processes effectively and appropriately. |
| 7 | Apply industry standard version control tools in order to manage software deliverables. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Software Basics: Variable, data types, declarations and expressions, iterative and conditional programming constructs, methods, recursion OO Concepts: Encapsulation, abstraction, data hiding, inheritance, polymorphism, code reuse. OO Programming: Classes and objects, arrays, basic collection classes, exception handling, defensive programming, basic algorithms to process simple data structures, Application Programming Interfaces Software configuration and release management in a business environment. Version control. Standards and Best Practice Guides: ISO/IEC 12207 |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| This module uses the following delivery modes: Guided study (lectures, tutorials, and other learning materials delivered through VLE + bibliography), mentored practical work undertaken in the workplace, project work in the workplace including a design brief, personal study, group reflective sessions via VLE and at RGU Key concepts are introduced and illustrated through lectures (physical and virtual). Theory is put into practice in the workplace guided by a mentor. The understanding of students is tested and further enhanced through virtual interactive labs and tutorials. |
