Catalog Course Description

An advanced-level course expanding upon arrays, pointers, structures, templates, and file I/O. Test Driven Development (TDD), refactoring, and UML diagrams concepts are applied. Covers theory and application in areas such as the standard template libraries including vectors, lists, stacks, queues, sets, and maps. Object oriented principles of classes, data, inheritance and dynamic binding are covered.
