The topics include advanced techniques in procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming; composition of functions, objects and modules; design patterns; software process and agile methods;  tools for collaborative software development; and select topics in mobile and on-line software development.  Course assignments consist of individual and group projects and presentations, including the development of collaborative software (groupware).
