Module Indicative Content
This module is designed to build upon the basic object oriented programming paradigm covered during Level 1. It will make predominant use of the C++ programming language with strong supporting references to Java via exemplars.
The module will cover the following programming aspect: classes and objects; attributes; methods; constructors; constructors and destructors; single and multiple inheritance; overloading functions, methods and operators; polymorphism; memory management; abstract data types; templates (methods and classes); file input & output; data structure implementation and an introduction to MFCs (GUI) and threads.

Module Learning Strategies
A series of twice weekly lectures will introduce the concepts of advanced object oriented programming. Each of the weekly practicals will provide a series of tasks to support the concepts covered during the lectures.
The programming coursework will enable the student to combine the various programming techniques into a single application.
Within the module the student will also be able to develop the following skills: intellectual; communication; formulating a practical solution to a given problem and making effective use of time and available resources.
