Module overview:


This module introduces students to basic object-oriented programming concepts, with emphasis more on usage and less on design.

This module is core to the Multimedia Computing programme of study. It builds on skills and knowledge gained in Programming module and provides the foundation for a few programming modules that follow in the following semesters. Skills learnt in this module will contribute significantly to students’ development as professionals in respecting fields.

Students will learn:
• About basic concepts of object-oriented programming (class, object, instantiation, inheritance, abstraction, etc.)
• How to design own hierarchy of classes with constructors and/or destructors.
• About abstract classes and methods.
• How to apply basic design patterns.

The module is taught in PHP programming language. The module assessment is based on solving a series of smaller practical tasks in the defined programming language and software development tool.
