ITC206 Programming in Java 1 (8)

This subject covers problem-solving, computer program design and implementation in Java at an introductory level. 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.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
  • be able to implement basic algorithms in Java;
  • be able to interpret design requirements expressed in UML (Unified Modelling Language);
  • be able to apply inheritance and aggregation patterns in the design and implementation of programs;
  • be able to manipulate simple file operations using Java;
  • be able to use object-oriented techniques and Java resources to develop small applications consisting of a number of classes;
  • be able to apply basic testing and debugging techniques in program development.

Syllabus

This 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.
  • Simple file manipulation operations.
