Course Description

The course aims to cultivate students who have no programming experience before their university study. In this course, we will introduce the fundamentals of object-oriented programming language and programming techniques. The students will be familiar with the popular programming language Java and be able to construct programs for solving general problems.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this class, the student will gain experience in:

Understanding the basic components in a software system and the working mechanism of the Internet and the Web;
Knowing the basic syntax of the Java programming language;
Learning the features of object-oriented programming: abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism; and
Developing programs to solve real problems using integrated development environments.

Prerequisites

N/A.
