COMP2511 Object-Oriented Design & Programming  
This course aims to introduce students to the principles of object-oriented design
and to fundamental techniques in object-oriented programming. It is typically taken in
the second year of study, after COMP2521, to ensure an appropriate background
in data structures. The knowledge gained in COMP2511 is useful in a
wide range of later-year CS courses.  
The goal of the course is to expose students to:  
 
the fundamental principles of object-oriented design  
object-oriented programming and object-oriented design in Java  
the application of sound programming and design skills  
problem solving and modeling of real world problems from science, engineering, and
economics using the object-oriented paradigm  
 
Topics: Objects. Object-oriented design. Design patterns. Design by contract. Object-oriented programming in
Java. Practical work: labs, design project, implementation project.
