Synopsis

This course covers further concepts in object-oriented programming. It explains the basic building blocks of an object. Students learn how to apply object structure and methods to store and compute tabular information as a system of objects. The principles and reasons of structuring objects in a class hierarchy and an association will be explained. A particular class, the container class, is introduced. Students will learn how complex processing mechanisms can be programmed through the container class. These complex mechanisms are then shown to be the building blocks for Graphical User Interface and Event Management, which have become a standard approach to building native software applications.
