This course, part of the Software Development MicroMasters program, will dig deep into the principles of object-oriented design, and introduce new abstraction techniques and design patterns. You will use these techniques to build an application that makes use of popular online services and APIs – the most complex software design project so far.
Learners who enroll in the Verified track will receive staff grading for the course project and increased interaction with the instructors and staff.

What you'll learn:

  • How to read and use software design patterns
  • To implement and test an object-oriented design
  • How to develop an application using online services and APIs

Computer Science

Discrete Optimization aims to make good decisions when we have many possibilities to choose from. Its applications are ubiquitous throughout our society. Its applications range from solving Sudoku puzzles to arranging seating in a wedding banquet. The same technology can schedule planes and their crews, coordinate the production of steel, and organize the transportation of iron ore from the mines to the ports.

Software Construction: Data Abstraction (edX)

CS: Software Engineering

Learn powerful data abstraction and decomposition techniques to build large, complex programs. The course begins with the topic of data abstraction - from specification to implementation. Particular attention is given to how to write robust tests using JUnit. Then the course expands on these ideas to explore how type hierarchies and polymorphism can be used to decrease redundancy in your code. The course wraps up with a discussion of how to design robust classes.
