COMP6442 Software Construction
S1S26 units6000-level
This course extensively explores the fundamental principles and practices necessary for creating medium-scale software projects, with a specific focus on the object-oriented programming paradigm. By blending theoretical understanding with hands-on practice, students establish a robust foundation in software construction, drawing from their prior programming experience. Key topics, including programming techniques at large, life cycle models, data manipulation techniques, and GUI concepts, are highlighted to foster a comprehensive grasp of software development. Ultimately, the course empowers students with the skills to construct medium-scale software projects efficiently, ethically, and in alignment with industry standards.

Prerequisites in 2025
The handbook's wording is ambiguous; this is a person's reading of it
One of
- enrolment in the Master of Computing (Advanced)
Why it's read this way: "Either:" sets up two pathways: the "; AND" binds the maths course to the programming course, and the "; OR" opens the VCOMP pathway.
Incompatible with COMP2100: you can't count both.
