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
