Computer Science II: Object-Oriented and Generic Programming

Move beyond basic loops and variables to write clean, maintainable, and scalable code. This course bridges the gap between simple scripting and professional software engineering by focusing on how to structure complex programs effectively. You will transition from writing isolated blocks of code to designing robust systems using modern programming paradigms. What you'll learn: Understand core object-oriented principles including inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation; Apply generic programming techniques to write reusable and type-safe code; Implement and analyze essential data structures such as linked lists, stacks, and queues; Master modern error-handling patterns and robust exception management; Structure your code using clean architecture principles and separation of concerns. The course begins with foundational definitions of object-oriented concepts before moving into practical code design, generic interfaces, and efficient data management. This course is designed for beginner programmers who have a basic grasp of variables and control flow but want to develop professional-grade software design skills.
