Overview
DESCRIPTION:
Advanced object-oriented concepts and problem solving techniques. Advanced GUI components; event handling, java collections framework and data structures, data persistence, efficiency issues.RATIONALE:
The course is designed as a continuation of ITC 2188 and aims to introduce a wider range of object oriented JAVA features; students will apply previously acquired knowledge in programming constructs together with design patterns that will be covered in the course. An in-depth view of Swing components, in combination with event handling, collections, and databases will lead to advanced object oriented application development.LEARNING OUTCOMES:
As a result of taking this course, the student should be able to:
1. Explain and apply key principles of object-oriented programming such as abstraction, encapsulation, data hiding, inheritance, polymorphism.
2. Demonstrate understanding of the properties of data structures and select the appropriate one to solve a computing problem.
3. Model software requirements using UML.
4. Design, implement, and test advanced, distributable, and maintainable object-oriented GUI applications.METHOD OF TEACHING AND LEARNING:
In congruence with the teaching and learning strategy of the college, the following tools are used:
• Lectures and class discussions.
• Laboratory practical sessions and problem solving.
• Online Tutorials.
• Office hours held by the instructor to provide further assistance to students.
