Java Programming

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of procedural and object-oriented programming, using the Java language. It teaches how to write, run, and debug basic programs before moving to a study of discrete, manageable building blocks that can be composed together to form software of any complexity. It will show how to use Java's built-in tools to load, store, and discover information, both in transient memory and persisted files. Students will interpret and modify sample code, with the help of various online learning aids, and gradually build up the confidence needed to write novel programs based on provided specifications.
