Learning objectives:
The goal is to introduce students to object-oriented programming in Java.
Description:
Object orientation. Java - language, objects, classes, programming techniques, libraries, development environments. Design patterns. Debugging and testing tools. Graphic user interface, threads.

Knowledge and skills required for the course:
Basics of imperative programming (language C) and algorithm development.
Subject specific learning outcomes and competences:
Ability to apply object oriented approach for application development using Java language. Experiences with design patterns and graphic user interface (Swing) in Java.
Generic learning outcomes and competences:
Basis of object oriented programming. Knowledge of basic design patterns and Java programming techniques.
Syllabus of lectures:
  1. Introduction: history, tools, distributions, Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Basis of object orientation: object, class, interface, abstraction, encapsulation, constructors.
  2. Data types. Class declaration, access modifiers. Structure of application in Java, packages, compilation, run, import classes.
  3. Inheritance, polymorphism. Object initialization. Arrays. Debugging using assert.
  4. Inheritance hierarchy, type checking, type casting, object comparison. Interface in Java. Debugging tools.
  5. Exceptions. Abstract classes, nested (inner) classes, enumeration, static import.
  6. Containers: iterators, collection, set, lits, map. Generics in containers. For-each loop, auto-boxing.
  7. Threads: sharing, planning, synchronization. 
  8. Graphic user interface JFC/Swing. Technique of application design.
  9. Input/Output operations, streams.
  10. Design patterns. Programming language guide.
  11. Generics.
  12. JVM: class loading, memory management, garbage collector, profiling.
  13. Java Enterprise Edition: basic overview.
Syllabus - others, projects and individual work of students:
  1. homeworks
  2. project (a small application in Java)
