COMP601
Module title
Object Oriented Programming
Prescription
To enable students to gain the skills to develop software applications using Object Oriented Programming techniques. Students will enrich their programming and problem solving skills by applying classes, objects, constructors, methods and properties, inheritance and polymorphism to develop programming applications.
