CISY 4003

This course covers the fundamentals of data structures and software modeling. Topics include: modern IDE for software development and code version management systems, design and development of reusable software, software modeling (class diagram, use case, CRC card), introduction to analysis of algorithms (order notation), abstract properties, implementation and use of stacks, queues, linked lists, binary trees, binary search trees, and recursion and efficiency of recursive solutions. Additional focus will be given to range of searching (sequential, binary), selecting (min, max, median) and sorting algorithms (quicksort, merge sort, heap sort) and their time and space efficiencies. Software quality assurance (pre and post conditions, program testing), team development of software applications, and professional responsibilities and liabilities associated with software development will be discussed.
