Learning Outcomes
The course’s material includes the basic concepts and techniques that constitute the object-oriented programming and how these are implemented in practice using the object-oriented programming language Java. In addition, the object-oriented way of thinking for problem modelling and solving is being analyzed.
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be in position to:
- Explain the basic principles and techniques that constitute the model of object-oriented programming (indicatively: classes and objects, inheritance, polymorphism).
- Design and develop programs that implement specific algorithms in the object-oriented programming language Java.
- Test programs developed in Java in a specific integrated programming environment.
