Course Description
This course is intended to introduce undergraduate students to intermediate and advanced object-
programming programming concepts. The course will provide students an insight into the
various object-oriented programming notions. This course comprises of Introduction to Object-
Orientation: Types of computer languages, Object-oriented principles; Java Programming:
Variable types and identifiers, Number types, strings, constants, operators and operator
precedence, type conversion, arrays and array lists, modifiers, Java exceptions; Decision and
repetition statements: Statements, if statement, switch statement, for loop, while and Do while
loop; Objects & Classes: Object variables, defining a class, instantiating and using objects,
instance fields, constructors and methods; OOP Concepts: Inheritance, Method overloading and
overriding, Encapsulation, Polymorphism, Abstract classes and interfaces; AWT & Swing: AWT
features, Swing features, AWT components, Swing components, Event Handling: Sources,
Listeners and Events; Applets: Overview of Java applets, Java applets vs. Java applications,
HTML tags for Applets.

Course Objectives
Upon completion of the course students should be able to:
 Understand basic object oriented concepts such as object, class, abstraction, hierarchy
modularity and encapsulation
 Successfully carry out, the edit-compile-run cycle of software development in an
appropriate software development environment
 Compare and contrast the two known programming paradigms such as structural
programming and OOP.
