Programming II

Programming 2 extends the contents of Programming 1 in order to design mid-size programs, to learn programming tools, and to introduce the basics of the object-oriented paradigm. The main goals of this subject are to learn how to design a mid-size program using both structured and object-oriented programming, and to encourage the critical ability needed to develop clear, efficient and robust software. In order to achieve these goals, the programming basis adquired in Programming 1 will be extended, adding concepts about strings, files and program arguments. Some programming tools (make, debuggers, GUIs, etc.) will be described, and finally the object-oriented programming paradigm will be introduced.

Course will consist of 60hrs of in class work and 90 hrs of independent work outside the classroom.

Course includes computer practicals.
