Java Programming Language

• 26 hrs seminar
• 13 hrs projects

• 100 pts projects

The aim is to introduce students to the basics of object-oriented programming in the Java environment. Students will also learn how to use design patterns and unit tests and create a simple graphical user interface.

Ability to apply an object-oriented approach to software application development using Java. Knowledge of basic programming techniques in Java. Experience in creating graphical user interfaces and using design patterns.

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 a widespread language for the creation of complex applications.

1. Homeworks practicing knowledge of essential features of the Java language.

2. Project - small application in Java including graphical user interface.

Students solve several assignments and one final project.

• Elaboration of homeworks and the project.
• The evaluation includes a defense of the project.

• Get at least 1 point of the possible point evaluation of each homework.
• Get at least 50% of the possible point evaluation of the project.
• Get at least 50% points in total.
