SE 2040 - Software Development III

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course introduces students to additional scripted, procedural, and object-oriented programming languages including C and C++. Students are introduced to the concepts of compilation, memory management, linking, low-level types, efficient implementation of objects, and the Standard Template Library. (prereq: CS 2852 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Explain the key differences between Java and C/C++
  • Make use of C/C++ compiler pre-processor directives
