LEARNING OUTCOMES

After taking the course you are able to design and implement a self-contained object-oriented program. You can also document your process and code and justify key design decisions made during the development process. You understand how some design choices might affect program functionality and the programming process itself, especially further development and maintenance of the code. You are able to use object-oriented and functional abstractions to your advantage. You know how to effectively use tools in an integrated development environment, and know how to use version control and unit testing. You know the basics of concurrent programming and how they can be applied in a simple case.
