This course is an introductory to the basics of computer hardware, software, and operating systems. Students will use this knowledge to understand and distinguish between programming languages and their respective platforms.
Understanding the vocabulary, grammar, and syntax is key to solving programming problems. All programming languages have been created around a fundamental set of principles. This course introduces the theory and practice of programming logic without using a specific programming language, but rather the basic syntax and logic found in all programming languages.
Using Java, students are introduced to object-oriented programming (OOP), the concept of organizing and grouping information within ‘objects’ used to contain data. Topics will include classes, objects, data types, constructors, methods, flow control, collections, data abstraction, modularity, testing, debugging, and specific object-oriented programming concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
