CS 2334: Programming Structures and Abstractions
(Fall 2010)
|
In this course, we develop and apply the fundamental skills of
software engineering: design, abstraction, implementation and
evaluation.
We will practice these skills through a set of laboratory exercises
and projects, many of which will involve the development of programs
for the CMU Finch.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Analyze simple computing problems and define the requirements
that are appropriate to their solution.
- Apply design and development principles to the implementation
of a solution to the computing problems. Specifically,
implement and manipulate a range of abstract
data types, including: stacks, queues, lists, trees and files.
- Evaluate and analyze the performance of your implementations, and use
this information to make further implementation changes.
- Use an integrated development and debugging environment.
- Evaluate and analyze the professional, ethical, legal, security
and social issues that are faced by computer scientists.
