ITC206 Programming in Java 1 (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Computing (COMPU)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject covers problem-solving and computer program design and implementation in Java at an introductory level, for students who are already familiar with the basic principles of programming. Programming concepts are presented using an object-oriented approach and students learn how to develop programs using object-oriented techniques. The subject covers class design, the use of inheritance in class design and the use of aggregation techniques. Students learn to develop small applications consisting of a number of classes.

Syllabus:
The subject will cover the following topics:
. Review of basic programming principles in the context of the Java language; strong typing and flow of control patterns. . Object-based programming: the creation of objects, their use and interaction. . The interpretation of design requirements through simple UML. . User-defined classes, class design and implementation. . Testing and debugging techniques. . Inheritance patterns and inheritance implementation; base classes, derived classes and abstract classes. . Aggregation patterns implementation; the creation and management of collections of objects. . Application development in Java using object-oriented techniques.
