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.

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 Threads. Object-oriented modelling and design using UML, introduction to Rational Unified process.
