Requisites: Before taking this module you must take CM12003
Learning Outcomes: By the end of the unit, you will be able to:
  • write programs in an object-oriented programming language,
  • design and construct basic data structures and algorithms,
  • understand the basics of, and write programs containing, advanced programming techniques,
  • plan, organise and implement programs to support reuse and maintainability of the software,
  • apply a modern paradigm of software development.



Synopsis: Building on Programming 1, you will learn about the concept of, and write programs in, the object-oriented programming style. You will also learn about and implement advanced programming techniques. Working in a team, you will plan, organise, and implement programs using a modern software engineering paradigm. You will learn about basic data structures and algorithms and implement server-client interaction.

Content: Example topics include: introduction to a large-scale object-oriented programming language such as Java, introduction to data structures and algorithms, event handling and error handling, basic multi-threading and networking, basic software engineering, incremental development and Agile.
