This course continues the study of objected oriented software development using the Java programming language. Students design, document and implement software classes and incorporate these classes into larger software applications. Topics covered include abstraction, encapsulation, declaring and implementing abstract data types, interfaces, inheritance, polymorphism, and simple event-driven programming. (prereq: SE-1010) (2-2-3)

Outcomes

On successful completion of this course, the student will:

• Explain the rationale for object-oriented design and programming
• Translate UML class and sequence diagrams into Java code
• Apply composition, inheritance, and interfaces
• Distinguish between inheritance and a Java interface
• Define polymorphism
• Design and implement simple Java classes and packages
• Implement software systems using problem requirements analysis and use case analysis
• Document the implementation of small software systems
• Declare and make appropriate use of the ArrayList class
• Make appropriate use of exception handling
• Use classes from the Java standard library to read and write files on disk

The above course description and goals were taken from the official course description.

Textbook

An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java e/4, by C. Thomas Wu (Otani), McGraw-Hill, 2006, ISBN: 0-07-294652-0 (errata list)

Quizzes

Quizzes will be given nearly every week at the beginning of lab. The lowest quiz score will be dropped. No make-up quizzes will be given.

Laboratory

Unless stated otherwise, all laboratory assignments will be completed individually. All Lab assignments are worth 100 points per week (i.e., a two week lab assignment is worth 200 points).

My Schedule

* I would like to have lunch with you individually or as a group to get to know you better. If we eat in RWJ, housing will pick up my lunch bill. If you would prefer to eat elsewhere, we will each be responsible for our own bill. Feel free to suggest another time if the time above does not work for you.
