IV. Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:

• Demonstrate effective use of the procedural programming and code construction techniques you have learned thus far.
• Engage and solve advanced programming tasks that grow beyond those solved in introductory programming.
• Demonstrate the understanding and effective use of complex programming concepts. Examples: a. Object-oriented programming b. Error handling (exceptions) c. Unit testing
• Discover and implement industry best practices and tools for creating & working with code.
• Explore and assess best practices for modularizing code, and the use of other contributors' code.

V. Topical Outline (Course Content)

Design solutions to programming projects that demonstrate the understanding and effective use of the following programming concepts: Object-oriented programming (classes) Inheritance Exceptions Unit Testing Explore computer programming as an industry, and investigate industry best practices and tools, including: Version control (such as Git) Programming IDEs (such as JetBrains tools, Eclipse, etc.) Development methodologies (such as Agile) Functional programming Explore and assess best practices for the use of the use of common supporting libraries and code modules. These could* include: Graphical interface toolkits Environment management tools (such as virtualenv for python) Web frameworks
