Object Oriented Programming

Objectives

Knowledge:

  • Object-­Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts, namely classes, interfaces, polymorphism and inheritance.
  • Techniques and algorithms for processing data structures such as lists, strings, vectors, dictionaries, and sets.
  • Basic mechanisms of generic programming.
  • Class libraries and learn how to reuse them.
  • Basic Software Engineering concepts, from a developer perspetive, such as software quality, reuse, development and maintenance costs, or implementation efficiency.

Application:

  • Design and develop software applications using OOP.
  • Problem solving with OOP.
  • Using verification and validation techniques.
  • Increasingly autonomous software development skills, both in solo and as a team member.

Soft­-Skills:

  • Build up an interest for programming and solving problems.

Teaching method

Lectures consist on a theoretical exposition, illustrated by application examples, and supported by slides and the usage of the software development environment of the lecturer.
In the lab sessions, students solve problems by concretely applying the concepts discussed in the previous lectures.
Students may clarify any doubts during classes or in the instructor’s contact hours.
