Course Overview
This hands-on course follows on from COMP 1510. This course covers the fundamental concepts of design, development, testing, and debugging intermediate-level programs with an object-oriented programming language. Topics include language syntax, data abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and exception handling. Design Patterns and Graphical User Interfaces will be applied to appropriate problems.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, the student will be able to:
- Explain the importance of good object-oriented software design
- Apply the properties including encapsulation, information hiding, inheritance, and polymorphism to create easily extensible systems in the context of intermediate-level programs.
- Apply object-oriented decomposition to break a program into multiple classes with well-defined interfaces.
- Write programs processing data using sources and sinks.
- Create and handle exceptions to write robust programs.
- Apply design techniques such as sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams and class diagrams to define classes and their relationships when solving a problem.
- Program with lambda expressions and closures.
