FIT2034 - Computer programming 2 - 2018

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.

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.

Examination (2 hours): 50%; In-semester assessment: 50%

Minimum total expected workload equals 12 hours per week comprising:

1. Contact hours for on-campus students:
   • Two hours of lectures
   • One 2-hour laboratory
2. Study schedule for off-campus students:
   • Off-campus students generally do not attend lecture and tutorial sessions, however should plan to spend equivalent time working through the relevant resources and participating in discussion groups each week.
3. Additional requirements (all students):
   • A minimum of 8 hours independent study per week for completing lab and project work, private study and revision.
