         Fall 2012
 | Advanced Object-Oriented Programming and Design | 
    
        |          | 
Welcome to the Fall 2012 Comp310 home page!
Object-oriented programming is the major software paradigm 
used in large systems today.   This includes most desktop applications 
such a office productivity software, data management applications and even the 
main frameworks of many games.  But object-oriented programming and design 
(OOP/D) absolutely rules in the enterprise-class arena, the globe-spanning, 
mission-critical systems that, via the Internet, tie together international 
corporations from one end of the Earth to the other.  In Comp310, we will 
discover how to use state-of-the-art object-oriented programming and design 
techniques to create flexible and scalable software systems that can interact 
with eachother from anywhere in the world. 
We will learn about software design patterns and how they are used in multiple 
programming paradigms.   Through a 
combination of theory and coding, the class will explore 
how highly decoupled systems with dynamically configurable behaviors are 
designed and implemented.   The class 
will learn how to use design patterns as both a means of expressing fundamental 
computer science concepts as well as the building blocks in an abstract 
decomposition of a complex problem.  In addition, the class will learn to 
use industry standard tools and technologies such as the Eclipse integrated 
development environment, Subversion source control and round-trip engineering 
design tools.  
The course format will be that of lectures covering the 
theoretical, engineering and technological aspects of object-oriented 
programming and design that will be implemented in the project-like homework 
assignments.   These homework projects will build upon each other as 
much as possible, culminating in a networked application.
