1. Introduction to Java: history, tools, distribution. Basic concepts: object, class, interface, constructor.
2. Data types. Class declarations, access modifiers. Build and run application, application structure (packages), import classes.
3. Inheritance, object initialization, inheritance hierarchy (Object class). Type conversion.
4. Abstract class, interface. Type checking, typecasting, object comparison. Array.
5. Exceptions. Nested classes, anonymous classes. Lambdas. Invariant asserts.
6. Containers: iterator, collection, list, set, map, comparators. Enumerations.
7. Threads: Planning, Sharing, Synchronization.
8. Annotations. Program debugging (JUnit), document generation, application build (ant, maven), distribution (java archive).
9. Object oriented design and implementation in Java. Design Patterns.
10. Graphical User Interface JFC/Swing and JavaFX. MVC, Observer, and Command Design Patterns.
11. Input Output streams. Sockets. Collecting data with streams.
12. Modules, modular JDK, runtime image. Generic types (Generics). Java programming principles.
13. JVM: class loading, memory management, garbage collector, profiling.

1. Java basics, first applications, working with packages and classes, compiling and running the application from the command line.
2. Control structures, arrays, enumeration types, data types. Object orientation programming.
3. Collections.
4. Threads.
5. Graphical user interface. Design patterns.
6. Java Tools (jar, javadoc, ant, maven).

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

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

• Work out homeworks and the project.

• Work out all homework.
• Work out and present the project.
• Write a test.
• Get at least 20 points from the project and at least 50 points in total.
