G64OOS: Object Oriented Systems (Spring 2014)

This module is concerned with objct oriented analysis and design, the unified modelling language, and the C++ programming language. It seeks to demonstrate that a C++ application, no matter how small, can benefit from some object oriented analysis and design during its construction.
