Overview: Introduction to the theoretical and practical methods of object-oriented software design and construction. Topics include: inheritance, type hierarchies, polymorphism, operator overloading, class library design, generics, the contract model of design, object-oriented design, and design patterns. This course is a detailed introduction to the methodology and practice of object-oriented software construction, one of the major areas of software engineering practice and research.
We will cover most of Chapters 1-16 of the textbook. Supplementary handouts and slides will be made available online.
