Subject Description | The objective of this subject is for students: to be able to design and code medium sized programs; to be familiar with a range of design techniques; to be able to select a design technique appropriate for a given problem; and to be able to select a programming language appropriate for the selected design technique. Topics covered include: Principles of design. Design methods based on the structures of input and output. Structure clash resolution. Abstract data types. Object-oriented design and object-oriented programming. Top-down design and client-server concepts. Event based programming. Rule based design Exception handling. Choosing a programming language. |
Assessment | Project work (expected to take about 36 hours) during semester; and one written examination (not exceeding three hours) at the end of the semester. The project work must be completed satisfactorily to pass the subject. Weighting of assessment components will be advised at the commencement of the subject. |
