Synopsis

The emphasis in this unit is on the application of fundamental programming concepts using an object-oriented programming language. It also introduces more advanced object-oriented programming topics such as inheritance and polymorphism. It gives students a deeper understanding of programming and gives more practical skills in designing, building and testing larger computer programs, including ones having graphical user interfaces, and utilising file I/O.

Outcomes

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

  1. implement basic programming concepts through designing and constructing simple programs using Java as the implementation language;
  2. explain object-oriented concepts such as inheritance, polymorphism, and abstract classes and interfaces and interpret how they are implemented in Java;
  3. apply the object-oriented design principles to a multiple-class object-oriented program;
  4. construct Java programs that include graphical user interface with event handling, collection classes, exception handling and files for persistent data storage;
  5. identify a range of modern tools to support the process of programming complex software systems.

Assessment

Examination (3 hours): 60%; In-semester assessment: 40%

Workload requirements
