Learning Outcomes
The course introduces students to object-oriented programming. It aims to foster an understanding of the object-oriented philosophy and its advantages, as well as the development of applications using the object-oriented language Java. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental features and advantages of object-oriented design.
- Apply the core concepts of an object-oriented programming language such as inheritance, polymorphism, etc.
- Develop programs and applications in the object-oriented language Java.
- Use integrated development environments (IDEs) that support object-oriented programming languages.
