COP 5230: Object Oriented Programming Essentials

This course introduces object-oriented programming emphasizing an objects first approach with practical applications. Objects, methods, and classes are studied in detail. Students design and implement an application based on object-oriented program principles, adopting these concepts to solve a wide verity of problems.

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Analyze and develop object-oriented software solutions using objects and classes.
  • Write object-oriented applications using a combination of functions and data.
  • Apply concepts of object-oriented programming, such as polymorphisms, inheritance, and others, in solving a complex problem.
  • Design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based application to meet desired solutions to real world problems. 

List of topics covered:

Procedural Python, OOP concepts, Abstraction, Object-Oriented PyGame, GUI Widgets, Encapsulation, Polymorphism, Inheritance, Memory Management etc.
