| Objective |
The primary objective of this course is to provide students with a deep understanding of the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm and principles, which are at the heart of modern software development processes. Throughout the course, students aim to: - Analyze problems from an object-oriented perspective. - Decompose complex software systems into manageable components using abstraction and modularity principles. - Develop reusable, flexible, and sustainable code using Class and Object structures. - Gain proficiency in modeling system architecture via UML diagrams during the design phase, alongside mastering fundamental pillars such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. |
| Content |
- Foundations of the Object-Oriented Paradigm: Object-oriented approach in software development, concepts of classes and objects. - Abstraction and Encapsulation: Data hiding principles, access modifiers, and modular structure design. - Class Relationships and Modeling: Analysis of inter-object relationships (is-a, has-a) and system modeling with UML class diagrams. - Inheritance and Code Reusability: Establishing hierarchical structures, method overriding, and extensible software architecture. - Polymorphism and Flexible Design: Dynamic binding, interfaces, abstract classes, and developing loosely coupled systems. - Error Handling and Data Structures: Management of exceptions and dynamic data management. - I/O Operations and Persistence: Interaction with file systems and object serialization techniques. |
| Course Learning Outcomes |
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Explain the object-oriented approach in programming. 2. Use an object-oriented programming language and associated class libraries to write and test programs. 3. Develop UML-based designs using the concepts of encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism to solve real-world problems. 4. Implement UML-based designs (based on class diagrams) for problems displaying architectural complexity and significant inter-class communication. 5 Use IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) to design, implement, debug, and execute object-oriented applications. |
| Teaching and Learning Methods | Lectures, in-class practice, discussions, Q&A sessions, problem-solving, and a term project. |
