The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the concepts of object oriented programming, and to provide theoretical and practical knowledge on methods and tools used for object oriented design and development of reusable and extensible software. The course has both theoretical and practical aspects. The students have the opportunity to learn techniques for object oriented software design and development, and many examples with the use of object oriented programming languages, such as C++ and Java.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
