This course provides an introduction to software development using an object-oriented approach and the C++ programming language. Particular emphasis is placed on the design process and the reuse of existing software components, which are critical to the development of large software systems. (prereq: CS-100 or a high school programming course; coreq: MA-127 or equivalent) (3-3-4)
