Intermediate Programming

Description

This module (COMP08103) aims to further advance the students' rudimentary programming knowledge by introducing them to the fundamentals of object-oriented programming (OOP). This will be accomplished by utilizing a suitable high-level programming language such as C# or Java, which should ideally differ from the one introduced in previous programming modules, thereby enabling students to become comfortable with polyglot programming.

The module will cover key terminology, pillars, and principles that make up object-oriented programs. It will not only equip students with the knowledge and skills to develop scalable, maintainable, and reusable software but also foster a deep understanding of problem-solving strategies and best practices in software development. 

At the end of this module the student will be able to:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of common object-oriented concepts and principles and apply these in building a software system
  • Demonstrate expertise in the use of an integrated software development environment and its tools in the design, documentation, and implementation of a software system
  • Apply suitable techniques and practices to create scalable, maintainable, secure and reusable code to develop software systems 
  • Develop and test an object-oriented software application that follows OOP principles, uses suitable language features, and incorporates the use of standard library APIs as well as data persistence 

This is an SCQF Level 8 module and upon successful completion, participants will be awarded 20 credits.
