Introduction to Class-based Program Design

ROOM CHANGE NOTICE

As of Monday 1/13, we will be meeting in Shillman Hall, room 425.

Spring, 2014

The course studies the class-based program design and the design of abstractions that support the design of reusable software and libraries. It covers the principles of object oriented program design, the basic rules of program evaluation, and examines the relationship between algorithms and data structures, as well as basic techniques for analyzing algorithm complexity.

The course is suitable for both CS majors and non-majors. It assumes that student has been introduced to the basic principles of program design and computation.

Prerequisites

“Think first, experiment later.”

The course assumes proficiency with the systematic design of programs and some mathematical maturity. It demands curiosity and self-driven exploration and requires a serious commitment to practical hands-on programming.
