Course Objectives
In this class, we will ask several questions and try to find answers together.
Why design? Why appreciate software design as a process? Is it critical?
What were the design approaches before object-oriented design? What is object-oriented design? What are the design approaches beyond object-oriented design?
What is a good design? How do you differentiate between a good and a bad design? What are the important characteristics of a good design?
How to design? Are there recipes to common design problems?
Etc.
It is going to be a highly interactive class, where you will bring your own issues about design and learn from issues encountered by others.
This course is:
NOT a course on object-oriented programming, you are expected to have an intermediate knowledge of an object-oriented programming language such as C# or JAVA. If you do not, please refer to Ken Arnold and James Gosling and David Holmes. The Java Programming Language Fourth Edition. Addison-Wesley, Reading, Mass.
NOT a course on software processes, however, we will learn just enough about them to use them in course projects.
NOT a course on data structures/algorithms. Com S 228 is a pre-requisite for this course
