Delivery Online, self-paced

Course Description

In this continuation of COMP 1131: Computer Programming I, students are introduced to the programming tools required to solve a more advanced set of problems. Students further develop their knowledge of the principles of object-oriented design and programming, including the use of interfaces and inheritance, and learn the fundamentals of sorting data and data structures.

Learning outcomes

Work with procedural and object-oriented aspects of the Java language.
Develop sound techniques for designing, developing, and documenting well-structured programs using proper software engineering principles.
Continue to apply problem-solving skills and provide a foundation for advanced programming courses using an object-oriented programming (OOP) methodology.
Implement common programming algorithms for data collections for use in further programming courses.
Develop a GUI interface and related processing for an application.

Course topics

Module 1: Inheritance
Module 2: Polymorphism
Module 3: Exceptions
Module 4: Introduction to Collections - Stacks
Module 5: Graphical User Interfaces
