FIT1051 - Programming fundamentals in java - 2017

This unit will provide students with an overview of the fundamental knowledge and skills required to code applications. The topics covered will include: the context of programming in an industrial SDLC, dealing with code 'plumbing', data, using API library classes, common business logic patterns and their implementation using control structures, methods and modularity, value and reference types, coding custom driver and concept classes, class inheritance, interfaces, multi-class applications.

At the completion of this unit, students should be able to:

1. describe the difference between large scale industrial programming and small scale or scientific programming;
2. identify common logic patterns in problem descriptions and implement code solutions to these problems using best practice Java coding patterns;
3. analyse and debug existing Java programs;
4. describe and use the Java Class Libraries;
5. code and test multi-class Java applications;
6. apply good programming practices in accordance with industry standards and professional ethics.
