CS106B - Programming Abstractions

Programming Abstractions is the second course in Stanford's CS106 sequence, taught here by Julie Zelenski and published in full on Stanford Engineering Everywhere. It moves from Java to C++ and covers the more advanced introductory topics: abstraction and its relation to programming, data abstraction and modularity, object-oriented programming, the fundamental data structures (stacks, queues, sets), data-directed design, recursion and recursive data structures such as linked lists, trees and graphs, and an introduction to time and space complexity analysis. SEE provides 27 lectures of about 40 to 52 minutes with transcripts, together with handouts, assignments, exams and the required software.

The page states that the course assumes solid performance in Programming Methodology or a comparable introductory course, including high-school AP courses, and familiarity with good programming style. Access is free with no registration; the SEE pilot has ended with no new courses to come, and there is no credit, certificate or graded feedback, and the content is licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
