Course Overview
The course covers extensively the Gang of Four design patterns. UML notation for class diagrams and interaction diagrams will be reviewed. Advanced Java concepts like J2EE, Enterprise Java Beans, and J2EE patterns will also be covered in the course. Components and component architecture will be reviewed using both Sun's and Microsoft's technologies.
All programming examples for the lectures will be in Java. Students have the choice to use Java, C++, or C# for their programming assignments. There will be at least three programming assignments, an in-class Mid Term (open), an in-class presentation topic, and a Final programming project.
