Course Title: Advanced Object-Oriented Programming
Course Overview:
Advanced Object-Oriented Programming delves into more sophisticated concepts and techniques in software development using object-oriented principles. Students will learn advanced topics such as design patterns, polymorphism, inheritance, abstraction, and encapsulation. The course focuses on applying these concepts to real-world software projects and problem-solving scenarios.
Course Objectives:
Master advanced concepts of object-oriented programming.
Understand and apply design patterns for software development.
Explore topics like polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation in depth.
Learn about abstraction techniques and interface design.
Gain practical experience through hands-on projects and programming assignments.
Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in software design.
