The Java for Non-C Programmers course teaches students: the syntax of the Java programming language; Object-Oriented Programming using Java; exception handling; file input/output (I/O); and, optionally, creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) using AWT and Swing. Students will learn how to develop Java applications and, optionally, how to develop applets.

• Java Basics
• Branching and Looping
• Objects
• Advanced Class Concepts
• Exceptions
• Stream I/O

   

Extensive practical exercises take students through all major aspects of the design and development of Java programs.

After completing this course, the student should be able to:

• Apply OOP principles
• Design OO applications using abstraction, encapsulation, modularity, and hierarchy
• Create applications (and, optionally, applets)
• Use Java Exceptions to guarantee graceful error recovery of your application
• Do input/output using Java
• Create and use inner classes in your program to be concise and clear
• Optionally, develop GUI using AWT and Swing with event handling

This course is intended for non-C programmers who are interested in adding Java to their skills.

Students should have some basic-level knowledge of programming in any programming language.
