Overview

Course description
This is an intensive Java programming course. Students are assumed to have prior knowledge in Object Oriented Programming, data manipulation (text, binary, database), prior knowledge in GUI design, and event handling.

Students will learn Java application development using packages, classes, abstract, interface, inner classes, file i/o, graphical user interface, database connectivity, and many more.

Students may conduct research as part of their coursework in this class. Instructors for the course are responsible for ensuring that student research projects comply with College policies on ethical conduct for research involving humans, which can require obtaining Informed Consent from participants and getting the approval of the Douglas College Research Ethics Board prior to conducting the research.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this course the successful student will be able to: 

  • Identify the purpose and behavior of a provided code fragment. 

  • Modify an existing code fragment to change its behavior. 

  • Modify conditional and iterative structures in a short program. 

  • Write well-structured, well- documented, well-commented readable code. 

  • Design, implement, test, and debug a program that uses each of the following fundamental programming constructs: basic computation, simple I/O, basic conditional and iterative structures, and functions. 

  • Describe the syntax and semantics of conditional structures. 

  • Use conditional structures. 

  • Apply the techniques of decomposition to break a program into smaller pieces. 

  • Describe the role of formal and actual parameters of a function. 

  • Describe how strings and arrays are allocated, manipulated and used. 

  • Compare iterative and recursive solutions for elementary problems such as factorial. 

  • Formulate loop invariants for simple loops. 

  • Demonstrate loop termination. 

  • Implement, test, and debug simple recursive methods. 

  • Explain the philosophy of object- oriented design and the concepts of encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, interface and polymorphism. 

  • Describe how the class mechanism supports encapsulation and information hiding. 

  • Compare and contrast the notions of overloading and overriding. 

  • Identify the scope of the variables involved in a given code. 

  • Access and program databases using various classes. 

  • Design GUI programs. 

  • Implement version control.
  • Construct class diagram, aggregation, and collaboration.
  • Describe the significance and benefits of version control.
  • Learn basic version control, assess the role of Git and create online repositories using Git.
  • Describe the basic Junit framework, Design effective unit test cases for Java lasses in Junit Execution Environment.
  • Design class diagrams which describe the structure of a system by modeling its classes, attributes, methods and relationships among objects.
