There will be 5 hours for practical work and short lectures (20-30 minute lectures). The practical sessions will provide students with the immediate opportunity to implement and reinforce the material presented in the short lectures.
Module Aim:
To introduce the general concepts of object oriented programming and software development
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1
Design and implement software solutions to complex problems using the object oriented paradigm.
LO2
