CMSC 132: Object-Oriented Programming II Course Introduction Department of Computer Science University of Maryland, College Park Course Catalog Description Introduction to use of computers to solve problems using software engineering principles Design, build, test, and debug medium-size software systems. Learn to use relevant tools Use object-oriented methods to create effective and efficient problem solutions Use and implement application programming interfaces (APIs) Programming done in Java Course Is Not Just About Programming Software development involves a lot more than programming and debugging Developing software that doesn't satisfy your customer, or find a customer, is pointless Poor (or no) design will make it hard to modify or reuse your software And you will have to modify it Lack of testing, plans, and build process leaves you lost, with no idea how to get back on track We have to cover a lot of programming ground, but we will also touch on these issues Assume You Already Know Coding Variables, operators, loops, arrays Basic object-oriented programming Classes, methods, inheritance Java Class libraries, exceptions Tools Eclipse IDE, debugger Where does 132 fit in? CMSC 131 Basic programming skills CMSC 132 Software design & basic algorithms CMSC 212 Low-level programming CMSC 250 Discrete math & logic CMSC 351 Analysis of algorithms Textbook (cont.) Recommended “Java Precisely (2nd Edition)” By Peter Sestoft Projects 5 projects Evaluate design, coding, testing skills Tries to involve interesting application areas Networking, user interfaces, data compression Late policy Projects due at 6 pm 20% penalty, up to 9am the next morning Plan to complete all projects on time Good faith attempt Must attempt all projects to pass Projects (cont.) Environment Eclipse IDE Do not use your cmsc131 workspace (Create a new one). Your cmsc131 linuxlab account is no longer valid. Automated submission & testing Submit server https://submit.cs.umd.edu Maintains record of submissions CVS repository May use for research Release testing Can evaluate project using real test cases Facebook group Search for CMSC 132 No project questions, etc. Just for fun/social Academic Honesty All individual assignments & exams must be done individually (except "open" assignments) Do not copy (or allow others to copy) your work in any way Submissions will be compared to submissions from current and previous semesters Cases of academic dishonesty will be referred to the University's Office of Judicial Programs Visit Student Honor Council website for more detailed explanation of academic dishonesty Excused Absences Students must apply in writing and furnish documentary support for excused absences Support should explicitly indicate the dates or times the student was incapacitated Excused absence does not typically translate into project extensions Students requesting reasonable academic accommodations due to a disability must provide a letter from the Office of Disability Support Services Topics Preview Object-oriented software development Software life cycle Requirements & specifications Designing objects & classes Testing & code coverage Programming paradigms Design patterns Topics Preview Programming skills Java collection framework Exceptions Threads, synchronization Java APIs Graphics User Interfaces (GUI)
