C++ and Java: Programming and Software Development

Curriculum Guide for CTA Students

Please use the following as a guideline when registering for summer 2001 courses. Note the change in requirements for 3rd and 4th term students. We have moved the Advanced GUI course into the 4th term and refocused the Java course for the 3rd term.

For summer 2001 only, STUDENTS ENTERING THEIR 4TH TERM WHO WISH TO TAKE JAVA should register for QC1510, not QC1304. QC1304 is a slightly different course aimed at students entering the third term. For summer 2001 only, 4th term students who do not wish to take Java may elect to take the UNIX for C or the ADV GUI course, each of which will be subject to minimum enrollments of 6 students.

Term 1 Students — Students beginning with the summer 2001 term must take:

QC1101 Introduction to Programming with C/C++

Note: QC1101 assumes a certain level of computer literacy prerequisite to study. Students registered for this course are advised to attend an
optional brush-up tutorial on either Thursday, May 10 from 6:10 to 9:10PM or Saturday, May 12 from 10:00AM to 1:00PM in 212C Lewisohn. You must signup in advance to reserve a seat in one or the other of these sessions by contacting the Admissions and Student Affairs Office 212-854-9666.

QC1103 Object-Oriented Programming and Software Architecture

QC1201 Data Structures and Object Design

QC1302 Graphical User Interface and C++ Applications

Term 3 Students — Students who started during the fall 2000 term must take:

QC1304 Introduction to Java for C/C++ Programmers
