Course code 3C59
Paraphrased:
The
fundamental intellectual aim is to give you an understanding of the philosophy
of object oriented programming.
• You need to know OO
• the norm in the commercial world
• now pervading science research as well
The
fundamental practical aim is to give you "hands on" experimence of using C++
to realise OO programming.
If time
permits we will also show you some OO realisation in Java
• C++ is still the most common language
appearing in job adverts
•Already
very important. Arguably more important than C++
We keep it all firmly embedded in the context
of:
"programming needed to do science"
