COURSE OBJECTIVES: The course should enable the students to:
- To have an in-depth understanding of concepts of object oriented programming paradigm and apply them in
problem solving.
- To understand streams and efficient user interface design techniques using GUI in Java.
- To have a clear knowledge on the language semantics of Java.
-
Learning Outcomes: By the end of semester, the candidates should be able to: -
- Understand the basic concepts of object-oriented programming and difference between Procedure– Oriented
Programming and Object Oriented Programming.
- Describe the meaning of the object-oriented paradigm, and create class hierarchies using the object-oriented
design process.
- Design and implement Java programs for complex problems, making good use of the features of the
language such as classes, inheritance.
- Learn how GUI can be designed and developed in Java using AWT, Applets and Swings.
