Learning objectives

Students will gain the ability to apply an object-oriented approach to creating applications using Java and knowledge of basic Java programming techniques. They will become familiar with the creation of simple graphical user interfaces, basic design patterns, the use of threads, and the practical use of unit tests.

Recommended prerequisites

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

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

Syllabus - others, projects and individual work of students

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

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

Progress assessment

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