Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be able to:
- use the basics of algorithmic thinking and skils of the object-orientated programming,
- implement parts of code in the Java programming language,
- control development environment Eclipse,
- use standard tools and techniques for debugging and testing program,
- create custom applications with a graphical user interface and multi-thread data processing.

Prerequisites

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level and ANSI C programming knowledge are required.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Techning methods include lectures and computer laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning system. Students have to write a single project during the course.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The student can obtain up to 22 points for the activity in computer labs, 20 points for tests during the semester, 28 points for the final test, and 30 points for an individual project in JAVA.

Course curriculum

1) Review of basic algorithms in JAVA: loops, branching, methods, basic data types (primitives), reference vs. indicators, variables, visibility of variables. 2) Classes and objects. Basic data types (primitives) vs. objects. References. Visibility of variables and attributes in the program. 3) Inheritance. Class vs. abstract class vs. interface. Problem-solving techniques. Design and implementation of algorithms. Subroutine, a division of the program into multiple files, 4) Recursion. The principle of recursion, and an introduction to problem-solving using recursion. 5) Exceptions and the principle of treating unexpected events. Exception is thrown. Multiple nested exceptions and their handling. Hierarchical breakdown of exceptions. 6) Text files and standard input and output. The input / output streams, work with file systems, files, folders, creation, delete, modify access rights. 7) Advanced data types, Linear structures - Vector, ArrayList, Collections, Sets - HashSet, TreeSet, Mapping - HashMap, HashSet.Iterators, creation of iterators. Browsing the collections in the cycle. 8) The principles of object-oriented design - case studies. Application design, the distribution of functional blocks. Introduction to design patterns and their use for the design of a particular application. 9) Management of major projects. Importing libraries and work with the API. Creating a custom library. Project management and integration libraries. Creating executable application. 10) Creating unit tests and test driven development. 11) Multi-threaded processing. Processes and threads. 12) Graphical user interface. Design pattern Model-View-Controller. Event-driven programming. 13) Graphical user interface. Design pattern Model-View-Controller. Event-driven programming.
