Description:

This course introduces the principles of software design and development using the object-oriented paradigm and the Java programming language. Design techniques covered are programming by contract and Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams. Students will build graphical user interfaces and learn to develop and use abstract data types (ADTs) such as lists, trees, sets, and graphs. Students will study the use of these data structures in applications such as simulation, computational science, and networks. For each ADT, students will analyze their advantages and disadvantages to determine which one works best for a given application. There is a required 1.5 hour laboratory section associated with this course. Prerequisite: Any one of the three introductory courses Computer Science 120, 121, or 123, or consent of instructor.
