JAVA PROGRAMMING

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Corequisites: None

This course introduces computer programming using the JAVA programming language with object-oriented programming principles. Emphasis is placed on event-driven programming methods, including creating and manipulating objects, classes, and using object-oriented tools such as the class debugger.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

a.   Design, create, build, and debug Java applications and applets.

b.   Apply algorithmic thinking to solve programming problems.

c.    Implement syntax rules in Java programs.

d. Explain variables and data types used in program development.

e.   Apply arithmetic operations for displaying numeric output.

f.     Write and apply decision structures for determining different operations.

g.   Write and apply loop structures to perform repetitive tasks.

h.   Write user-defined methods.

i.     Identify and implement arrays, array lists, and multidimensional arrays.

j.     Write Java programs using object-oriented programming techniques including classes, objects, methods, instance variables, composition, inheritance, and polymorphism.

k.   Write programs using graphical user interface (GUI) components and Java’s Event Handling Model.

REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS AND MATERIALS:

E-resources to be used by students see http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/index.htm

STATEMENT OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:

Students who require academic accommodations due to any physical, psychological, or learning disability are encouraged to request assistance from academic office within the first two weeks of class. Likewise, students who potentially require emergency medical attention due to any chronic health condition are encouraged to disclose this information to a dean of student services within the first two weeks of class.
