Subject specific learning outcomes and competences

Ability to apply object oriented approach for application development using Java language. Experiences with design patterns and graphical user interface (Swing) in Java.

Basis of object oriented programming. Knowledge of basic design patterns and Java programming techniques.

Learning objectives

The goal is to introduce students to object-oriented programming in Java.

Why is the course taught

Current practice requires at least basic knowledge of the principles of object-oriented programming, programming techniques and design patterns. The course teaches and trains these aspects in the Java language, which is widespread language for the creation of complex applications.

Recommended prerequisites

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Basics of imperative programming (language C) and algorithm development.
