CS680 - OO Design and Programming, Fall 2008


Description: Object-oriented techniques for the design and development of software. Students will develop a series of moderate sized programs in C++ and Java and then design and implement a more substantial project in small teams.

In Fall 2008, all OO programming will be in Java. The course will cover basics of database systems sufficient to allow us to persist the objects in a relational database.

Pre-requisites:

B or better for one course on the approved list (CS636, CS637, CS639, and CS651) and permission of the instructor. Programming expertise in Java of the level used in CS310 (advanced data structures).

Useful background: CS630 (first course in database systems), experience with ant, eclipse, JUnit.

Professor: Betty O’Neil  (eoneil at cs.umb.edu)
Class meets TuTh  5:30-6:45pm, in M-1-420

 Textbooks:

Head First Design Patterns, by Eric Freeman and Elizabeth Freeman, O'Reilly, 2004,ISBN 0-596-00712-4, available for example at Amazon or the bookstore.

If you're less than a database expert, or no longer have your database text:, get this inexpensive but good database guide:
Fundamentals of SQL Programming,by Ramon Mata-Toledo and Pauline Cushman, Schaum's Outline/McGraw Hill, ISBN 0071359532, available for example at Amazon.

If you're less than a Java expert, or don't know Swing basics:

Syllabus

Getting Ready:
Check out your development PC: my old PC, a 3Ghz Pentium 4 Windows XP Professional system with 1.5GB of memory, is fine.  Laptops are particularly useful, since you can bring them in and get help when needed.

First week (Sept. 2-4):
Get a UNIX account for cs680 by running apply, even if you already have a UNIX account here.
Follow the Java/ant setup instructions for UNIX and your home PC.

Sept. 9-11: hw1 is due Thursday. Note new refactoring links below. hw2 is available.

Resources

Pizza1 project: pizza1 (zip) Intro Pizza1 setup handout
Pizza2 project: (Pizza1 using Hibernate) pizza2 (zip) Pizza2 Code handout
hibernate-address project: (One-table Hibernate project) hibernate-address (zip)

Java, ant, junit setup:  Java/ant setup instructions for UNIX and your home PC.

Refactoring:  Martin Fowler's Refactoring Resources From that site, Gene Garcia's list of code smells and corresponding refactorings from Fowler's book: SmellsToRefactoring

JUnit4: home at sourceforge.net  (read JUnit Cookbook, look at FAQ) DevX tutorial

JDBC: Sun tutorial Note that the API is part of the standard Java library

XML:  XML tutorial at www.w3schools.com.  We need basic XML for ant now, and configuring Hibernate later. 

ant: Apache Ant documentation site.  Select the topic "Developing with Ant", and within that, "Hello World with Ant", the basic tutorial.

Oracle: We are using version 10g. Sign up (free) for Oracle Technical Network.   Access Oracle 10g documentation  Oracle error messages info and much more.

HSQLDB: We are using version 1.8. HSQLDB is an open-source in-memory DB with JDBC, great for unit testing.
