This course provides an introduction to software development using an object-oriented approach and the C++ programming language. Particular emphasis is placed on the design process and the reuse of existing software components, which are critical to the development of large software systems. (prereq: GE-110 or a high school programming course; coreq: MA-127 or equivalent) (3-3-4)

On successful completion of this course, the student will:

• Understand and apply basic high-level programming language syntax.
• Be able to design and implement small C++ programs.
• Understand and be able to apply the Standard Template Library (STL) vector and list classes.
• Understand and be able to apply selection and iteration in C++ programs.
• Understand and be able to apply C++ functions.

* I would like to have lunch with you individually or as a group to get to know you better. If we eat in RWJ, housing will pick up my lunch bill. If you would prefer to eat elsewhere, we will each be responsible for our own bill. Feel free to suggest another time if the time above does not work for you.
