Csc 330 - OOD & Systems Programming

Course Outline - Prof B. Domanski

Description: Students, who are assumed to have had at least 2 semester of C programming (126 & 228 or 211), are introduced to Object Oriented Design and Programming. Concepts covered include basic  C++, encapsulation, classes, member functions, private, protected and public members, function overloading, operator overloading, stream I/O and inheritance. Building upon their knowledge of assembly language covered in the prerequisite course CSC220, students are assigned a very large programming project where they are to use object oriented programming principles to build a systems program, for example, an assembler or a macro processor.  GUI design using Visual C++ is used as the development environment.

This course uses Visual Studio 2005 Professional with Visual C++

Planned Topics (for a typical semester where writing an assembler is the large project):

Material

• What is Object-Oriented Programming? History, examples, Operating Systems
• Object-Oriented Program Development
• Introduction to GUI Programming part 1
• C++ Tools / Stream I/O
• Implementing Object Behaviors with Functions
• List Objects, Array-Based Implementations
• Producing Objects Through Classes
• GUI Programming Part 2
• First Class Objects
• Storage Management for Objects
• Inheritance & Reuse
• GUI GUI Controls
• ***** Mid-Semester Exam: Review, Exam, Answer Review
• Polymorphism and Generic Classes
• More GUI Controls
• Container Classes
• Advanced GUI Controls
• Assembler Designs
• Symbol Table, Search Algorithms including Hashing
• Converting Constants, converting register-register instructions
• Converting instructions that reference memory; object code
• ***** Final Exam: Review & Exam

Typical Lab Projects & Estimated Time for Completion

1- Mortgage interest program designed/implemented in several phases: first, as a traditional monolithic program in C; second, using an object as the interest computing engine; third, with objects that employ stream I/O, overloading, and other C++ concepts. 6 weeks.

2- A file-driven telephone database management system, complete with classes, overloading, etc.

3- A small C++ program to simulate a memory dump in a mainframe S/390 in hexadecimal. 2 weeks

4- A full 2 pass assembler for S/390 assembly language. Including parser, machine op table, pseudo op table, symbol table with hashing, address generation, and instruction generation. 6 weeks
