Description:

Object-oriented programming has been used in the last 50 years to solve computational problems by using graphs of objects that collaborate together by message passing. In this course students get acquainted with the main principles of object-oriented programming and design, used in modern programming languages. The emphasis is on practical techniques for developing software, which includes testing, error handing, refactoring, and application of design pattern.

Contents:

1. History and the origin of object-oriented paradigm.
2. Basic principles of object-oriented programming and design: objects, messages, classes, attributes.
3. Hierarchical object-oriented data structures.
4. Inheritance and parametric polymorphism, substitution principle.
5. Testing of an object-oriented design.
6. Pure object-oriented languages.
7. Error handling, exceptions, design by contract.
8. Refactoring of object-oriented design.
9. Object model and reflection.
10. Object-oriented design patterns.
11. Prototype-based inheritance.
12. [2] Implementation of object-oriented programming languages.
