This ranges from learning object-oriented concepts, designing object-oriented software using a proven methodology and tools, to learning how to program in an object-oriented and functional style. The module provides a detailed examination of Software Design Patterns and the emerging functional features of current day object-oriented programming languages. Aims The main aim of the module is to provide students with the necessary skills for developing software using the object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. Learning Outcomes After successfully completing this course, students will be able to: Write programs in an object-oriented and functional language from start to end Write unit tests Utilize Object Oriented and Functional programming principles to create extendible and reusable software applications Design medium-scale applications Collaborate on team projects Review and critique requirements Review software designs and code We will be using the Java programming language for the 2021-22 session. Syllabus The object model and how it is realised in various object-oriented languages (e.g., Kotlin, JavaScript C#, Java, Scala, Swift, ...) Further development of the ideas of inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction Language features including nested classes, closures, higher-order functions, meta-objects, etc. The functional paradigm - Abstract data types, polymorphic types, static typing and type inference. Recursion and induction. List processing. Higher-order functions. Eager and lazy evaluation. Imperative features. Signatures, structures, functors, type classes, monads Test Driven Design (TDD) and Behavioural Driven Design (BDD) The use of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for software development: e.g., editing, debugging, compilation, etc. Modularity, versioning, packaging, and managing the build process Design Patterns and Anti-Patterns and their application to software design The SOLID (Single responsibility, Open-closed, Liskov substitution, Interface segregation and Dependency inversion) approach to object-oriented programming and design Code refactoring and analysis Concurrency and agents/actors Prerequisites Software and Programming II or equivalent.
