Object Oriented Programming in Java
95-707
Revised 05/25/2000

Course Description

Section: M
Units: 12
Days: Thursday
From 5:30 To 9:00
Room: HBH 1000
Instructor: Alain Kouyate
Intended for students with some programming experience, this course introduces computers as problem solvers using the Java programming language. Students will learn to decompose problems into algorithms and data structures and then code, debug, analyze, maintain and document programs using techniques of good programming style. Related topics include the basic aspects of abstraction, recursion, parameter passing, file I/O and classes. Examples are drawn from data mining, artificial intelligence, computer architecture, parallel computing, distributed computing and cryptography. Students explore different ways to think about problem solving including top-down decomposition, object-oriented programming, client/server networking and event-driven programming (such as that used in graphical user interfaces). Programs include constructing Java stand-alone applications as well as applets that run within web pages. Knowledge of the concepts and material presented in the course will give students better problem-solving skills and insight into today's computational environment.

Books

There is no required textbook for this course. The main source of study material will come from www.javasoft.com and the java tutorial section at <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/>.

A reference book is strongly recommended. One of the best is:
Java in a Nutshell by Flanagan
A Desktop Quick Reference, 3rd Edition, O'Reilly
