COMP2011J Object Oriented Prog (S/E)

Academic Year 2024/2025

The Object Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm is a key aspect of modern computer programming, having become the dominant programming paradigm in large-scale industrial software development. This module introduces students to object-oriented concepts such as classes, objects, message passing, encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, genericity and software reuse. We will look at how these constructs are used to construct high-quality programs. There is a strong emphasis on practical program development.

This module is delivered overseas and is not available to students based at the UCD Belfield or UCD Blackrock campuses
