This course builds on CSE1020 and covers an introduction to object-oriented programming and design. The emphasis is on class implementation and design. Concepts of software reusability and software extensibility are introduced through the abstraction-layering techniques of aggregation and inheritance. Case studies involving a collection of classes related by has-a and is-a relationships are designed and implemented in detail in lecture and exercises. Other topics include generics, recursion, searching and sorting, GUI, and linked structures.
