Aims and Objectives
This module will provide students with programming skills in Java. In addition, students will learn key concepts and general techniques from object-oriented (OO) programming that will enable them to quickly learn other object-oriented languages, such as C++ or C#.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module students will be able to:
- understand and use objects in common object-oriented languages;
- understand and develop programs using class based object-oriented programming;
- understand and develop programs using template based object-oriented programming.
Syllabus
- OO fundamentals: Objects, Classes, State, Instances
- Anatomy of a class – source code
- Making decisions
- Data types
- Strings
- Library classes and Documentation
- Collections
- Iteration
- Testing and Debugging
- Handling errors
- Designing classes
- Input/Output
- Pair programming
