Course Description
| This course introduces JAVA programming language as a computer programming language with object-oriented principles. Emphasis is placed on event-driven programming methods, including creating and manipulating objects, classes, and using object-oriented tools. Moreover, it explains the different relationship between classes such as composition, inheritance, and Polymorphism. |
Course Aims And Objective
| WHEN YOU SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THIS COURSE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO: 1. Contrast procedural languages with object-oriented languages 2. Write, compile, and execute a JAVA program 3. Describe the main features of the JAVA language 4. Use variables and constants 5. Do arithmetic operations 6. Create interactive Java programs 7. Create and use methods 8. Create and use JAVA classes and objects 9. Use pre-written methods and classes 10. Design and use various logic structures 11. Use nested statements 12. Use logical and conditional operators 13. Use shortcut arithmetic operators 14. Describe and use arrays 15. Use string objects and methods 16. Design and write JAVA applets 17. Explain event-driven programming 18. Create and use GUI objects within a JAVA program 19. Explain the applet life cycle 20. Create and use superclasses and subclasse; |
