Objectives Upon successful completion of the Introduction to Java Programming course, students will be able to apply the object-oriented approach to develop applications and applets with graphics, multithreading, multimedia, exception handling, I/O, and networking.

Course Content The course covers fundamental Java programming and core Java API. Specically, the following topics will be included: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Fundamental programming concepts, including primitive data types, control structures, methods, method abstraction, and arrays Object-oriented programming: class abstraction and encapsulation, class inheritance, and interfaces. Java graphics programming: Swing class hierarchy, JDK1.1 event delegation model, creating user interfaces, drawing geometric gures Java applets: interaction between the Web browser and applets, and conversion between applications and applets Exception handling: how Java handles exception and how the student can incorporate exception-handling capability in his/her programs Multithreading and multimedia: using the Thread class and the Runnable interface, animations, playing audio, and displaying images I/O: I/O stream hierarchy, binary streams and character streams

Course Grade The course grade will be calculated as follows: 16 You Do It programming labs @ 10 pts each 8 Case Projects @ 20 pts each Completion of student introduction forum - 10 pts Ongoing and meaningful participation in Discussion Forums - 20 pts

Total Points Possible: 350

Grading Scale The standard TCC 90-80-70-60 grading scale will be used.
