Catalog Course Description: Programming language technologies (e.g., object-oriented programming), their implementations and use in software design and implementation. Course Summary: This course will examine different programming paradigms -- Object-oriented programming (OOP), logic programming, and functional programming. Due to its popularity, the OOP paradigm will be discussed in detail, focusing on existing and emergining technologies used to implement object-oriented programs. Examples include UML, Design Patterns, Aspect-oriented Programming (AOP), refactoring, JUnit, and JavaDoc. The OOP paradigm can be significantly inefficient in certain domains and applications; some of these applications will be examined and alternative paradigms like logic programming and functional programming will be studied. By the end of this course, students should be familiar with the state-of-the-art in programming paradigms and associated technologies.

The grade of the course will be determined as follows: 25% mid-term, 25% final exam, 50% programming assignments.

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: CMSC330; and permission of department; or CMSC graduate student.
