Further Java programming language principles and the use of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are explored supported through reference to Unified Modelling Language (UML) and design patterns. Java Graphical User Interface (GUI) Swing and AWT APIs are practically examined in some detail. The Java Collections API is explored with emphasis on how to utilise these classes in programs to best effect. Students will also be introduced to third-party APIs, since an important part of application programming is the process of understanding and using such APIs. The module will give students core programming skills that are required for Years 2 and 3 of the Computer Science degree schemes. Module aims The aims of this module are to equip students with skills in object-oriented application programming using the Java programming language as the exemplar. The module will give students core programming skills that are required for Years 2 and 3 of the Computer Science degree schemes. Module learning outcomes After completing this module, students will be expected to be able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of core Java application libraries. 2. Explain the event-driven model underlying Java GUIs. 3. Write Java programs with interactive graphical user interfaces (GUIs). 4. Demonstrate knowledge of how Java programs interact with databases. 5. Write Java programs that make efficient use of the Java collections package. 6. Demonstrate an understanding of design patterns appropriate to Java GUIs.

Disclaimer: The University makes every effort to ensure that this information on its Module Directory is accurate and up-to-date. Exceptionally it can be necessary to make changes, for example to programmes, modules, facilities or fees. Examples of such reasons might include a change of law or regulatory requirements, industrial action, lack of demand, departure of key personnel, change in government policy, or withdrawal/reduction of funding. Changes to modules may for example consist of variations to the content and method of delivery or assessment of modules and other services, to discontinue modules and other services and to merge or combine modules. The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will also keep students informed appropriately by updating our programme specifications and module directory.
