Dr Mel Ó Cinnéide

This module is concerned with Object-Oriented Programming using the Ruby language. It reviews object-oriented concepts such as classes, objects, message passing, inheritance, polymorphism and genericity. We will look at how these constructs are implemented in current programming languages such as Java, C++ and Ruby, and see how they are used to construct high-quality programs.There is a strong emphasis on practical program development, for which Ruby will be the language used.

Outcomes

On successful completion of this module students should be able to:- describe the key aspects of object-oriented programming and their inter-relationships. Design, implement and debug object-oriented programs of moderate compexity. Compare and contrast the Java and Ruby programming languages. Assess the quality of a simple object-oriented design.
