Goals

The primary goal of this course is to become a much better programmer.

The instructor will share decades of experience as a successful software developer in industry and in scientific research institutions. The programming examples will be in C++, but the material will apply well to other object-oriented languages.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLO)

• CLO 1: Software design and development process: Use an approach to software development consisting of multiple design-code-test iterations. Model design with UML diagrams.
• CLO 2: Requirements gathering and analysis: Gather the requirements for a software application, distinguish between functional and nonfunctional requirements, and express the requirements in the form of use cases. Analyze the requirements to derive the initial set of classes.
• CLO 3: Design principles: Practice good design principles, including single responsibility, open-closed, code to the interface, Law of Demeter, and Liskov Substitution Principle.
• CLO 4: Recursion and backtracking: Design elegant solutions to certain types of programming problems using powerful recursion and backtracking techniques.
• CLO 5: Design patterns: Learn major "Gang of Four" design patterns and recognize when it is appropriate to apply them.

Prerequisites

Classified graduate standing or instructor consent. Artificial Intelligence or Computer Engineering or Software Engineering majors only.
