CMSC 335 Object-Oriented and Concurrent Programming (3)

Prerequisite: CMSC 230 or CMSC 350.

A study of object-oriented and concurrent programming using features of Java.
The goal is to design, implement, test, debug, and document complex robust programs in an object-oriented language.
Concepts of object-oriented programming topics:

composition,
classification, and
polymorphism.

Topics include the principles of concurrent programming:

task synchronization,
race conditions,
deadlock,
threads, and
event-driven graphic user interface programs.

Programming projects are implemented in Java. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: CMSC 300 or CMSC 335.
