|
Session options: | Semester 1 |
Versions for this Unit: |
Campus: | Camperdown/Darlington |
Pre-Requisites: | None. |
Prohibitions: | COMP5028 OR INFO3220. |
Brief Handbook Description: | This unit introduces essential object-oriented design methods and language mechanisms, especially the principles of modelling through Rational Unified Process and agile processes using Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Java or C++, both of which are industry standard. Students experience the process of object-oriented analysis, object-oriented design, implementation and testing by building a real-world application. Java or C++ is used as the implementation language and a special emphasis is placed on those features of Java or C++ that are important for solving real-world problems. Advanced software engineering features, including exceptions and namespaces are thoroughly covered. |
Assumed Knowledge: | INFO1103 OR INFO1113 OR COMP9103. Students enrolled in COMP9220 are assumed to have Java or C++ programming experience (or equivalent experience in another object-oriented programming language). This unit does have assessments with complex coding tasks. |
