Entry requirements
Introductory programming with an imperative language such as C or Python.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- present a detailed understanding of central parts of the programming language Java, for example by in detail explaining what simple programs compute.
- present a general understanding of the programming language Java, for example by solving simple programming assignments.
- present a basic understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP), for example by explaining how somewhat larger programming assignments can be solved in OOP and discuss different solution alternatives.
- present a general insight in Java's standard libraries, for example by sketching how different programming problems can be solved by means of standard libraries.
Content
Programming in Java. The basics of the language, the class concept, inheritance.
Standard libraries for data structures, network communication and graphical user interfaces. Object oriented analysis and design. UML. Software development tools.
Instruction
Self study at home by means of study materials, written exercises and laboratory sessions. Communication with supervisors and teachers with help of computers and computer networks or modems and telephone. Lectures, seminars and presentations are included in the meetings that are organised at the department.
Assessment
The course is examined by oral or written examination and compulsory assignments.
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
Other directives
The course can not be included in a degree with Computer Programming II (1TD720, 1TD721, 1TD722, 1TD770, 1TD772) or 1TD321 Object Oriented Programming using C++.
