|
This course will cover the object-oriented languages and the systems that can be built with them. Topics include object-oriented design and analysis, including methodologies such as the CRC-card method and the Booch method. Systems concepts, including inheritance, static and dynamic binding, and genericity; implementation in specific languages, e.g. Smalltalk and Java. 3 credit hours.
