Monash University Handbook 2011 Postgraduate - Unit

Refer to the specific census and withdrawal dates for the semester(s) in which this unit is offered.

Synopsis

This unit investigates the use of object-oriented languages to implement application software. Topics covered are aspects of object-oriented design, object-oriented programming, styles and idioms related to the C++ programming language, memory management, exception handling, the C++ standard library, performance and efficiency. Typical application areas studied include graphical user interfaces, event driven systems, simulations, and distributed systems

Objectives

At the completion of this unit students will:

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