ITC421 Programming in Java 1 (8)
Abstract
This subject covers problem-solving and computer program design and implementation in Java. Students learn to develop object-oriented applications consisting of a number of classes. The object-oriented approach is compared with other programming paradigms. The subject covers class design, file manipulation, Graphical User Interface components and the use of inheritance and aggregation techniques. |
