COMP 3141: Object-Oriented Design and Programming
This course introduces students to object-oriented design and programming. Upon completion, students should have a good understanding of object oriented design and programming including understanding and developing console-based applications in C++, Visual C++ applications and an introduction to Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) and inter-object communication. Students will be able to design and develop systems using object-oriented design and programming methodologies in console and Windows-based applications. They will also have an introductory knowledge base in MFC that will allow them to analyze and use these library functions in application development.
