This course is an introduction to object oriented programming and design in
a software engineering context.
Topics include object-oriented programming (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism),
event-driven programming,
building an application with a graphical user interface (Qt), and
programming with a graphics library (OpenGL).
The course will require significant programming projects, with students
working in two-person teams.
Programming will be conducted in C++.
Students will learn Qt, a C++ GUI interface toolkit (qt.digia.com),
as well as the OpenGL graphics library (www.opengl.org)
Students are expected to have good working knowledge of C++.

Grading
Your final grade is computed as a weighted sum of the programming projects.
The projects will progressively build up into a large software system
from their component parts.
Good class participation is a bonus.
