It assumes prior knowledge of imperative programming. Large scale program design and implementation issues are covered, using the Java Application Programmer's Interface, including the AWT, GUI programming and the Java Collections Framework. Topics include: data and procedural abstraction, collection interfaces and implementations, the event-driven model of computation, user interface components, streams and files, documentation styles with the Unified Modelling Language (UML). Session Autumn 2021/22 Credits 15 Assessment Blackboard quiz Assessed lab Coursework Lecturer(s) Dr Yoshi Gotoh Resources Blackboard Unconfirmed practical marks when available Exam Papers, past 2 years (where applicable) Aims to provide a grounding in object-oriented programming techniques; to introduce the major aspects of the Java API; to establish a sound and consistent programming style in Java. Objectives By the end of this course, students will: understand what is meant by object-oriented and component-based programming; be able to target complex problems on to solutions in the Java Programming Language; understand the basics of visual application programming; be able to document programs using UML. Content Introduction to programming in Java Object oriented programming: classes and objects, inheritance, abstract classes and interfaces UML Java Collections Framework Graphics programming and user interfaces Restrictions This module assumes students already have some experience of imperative programming Teaching Method Lectures will be used to introduce the material, and the main learning method will be practical sessions, during which students will be able to gain experience of the material. Feedback Students will get feedback from two assessed labs and from the assignment at the end of the semester. Recommended Reading G. Cornell and C. Hortsmann.
