FIT3126 - Applications with C++

Leader(s): Mr Jay Zeal

Offered

Caulfield Second semester 2009 (Day)

Synopsis

The main topics covered in this unit are: Object-oriented design and programming in C++ which include object identification, data encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism; concurrent programming techniques which include principles of concurrency, safety and liveness design, multithreaded programming in C++; network and distributed software construction principles and techniques which include network software performance, client-server software construction, socket and RPC programming in C++; and study and compare C++ with Java and Ada in terms of large software constructions.

Objectives

By the completion of this unit students will have a theoretical and conceptual understanding of:

1. object-oriented design and programming with C++ for large software development;
2. concurrent design and programming with programming languages which do not have built-in features to support concurrency like C++;
3. how to develop high performance software with programming languages that do not support concurrency such as C++;
4. and good experience of network and distributed programming using C++.

1. Appreciate OO application design and implementation with C++;
2. Appreciate design and implementation techniques of concurrent applications with C++;
3. Appreciate design and implementation techniques of network applications with C++;
4. have the practical skill of object identification in software development;
5. have the practical skill of concurrent design with mutual exclusion, deadlock free software construction, live lock avoidance, and efficient task communications;
6. achieved good programming skill with multithreading, semaphores, thread communication and synchronisation mechanism;
7. Achieved good experience of network and distributed programming using OO programming, sockets and C++;
8. Achieved real experience to develop high performance applications with C++ using OO programming together with concurrency and networking.
