Aspects of Object-Oriented Programming

This course will cover a number of aspects of object-orientation that have not been covered by dPaSS (earlier dProg2) and dEkspSys (earlier dSA). We will primarily focus on object-oriented programming languages. The main features and differences between object-oriented languages such as Smalltalk, C++, CLOS, Eiffel, Beta, Java and Self will be treated. Special emphasis will be given to Self.

Besides programming languages, other elements of object-orientation will be included. Possible subjects are object-oriented analysis, design and implementation; principles and implementation techniques used for dispatch and other language mechanisms; patterns, aspects, and frameworks; and program manipulation.

Part of the course will be a practical project carried out in Self or Squeak. The projects should illustrate various aspects of object-orientation and the result of the project should be a report discussing the experience.
