This course covers the concepts of object-oriented approach to software design and development using the Java programming language. It includes a detailed discussion of programming concepts starting with the fundamentals of data types, control structures, methods, classes, applets, arrays and strings, and proceeding to advanced topics such as inheritance and polymorphism, interfaces, creating user interfaces, exceptions and streams. Upon completion of this course the students will be able to apply software engineering criteria to design and implement Java applications that are secure, robust, and scalable.
The course grade will be based on active class participation (10%), assignments (40%), quizzes (10%), mid term exam (20%), final exam (20%). Assignments and quizzes are expected to be submitted by their respective due dates.
All course materials will be available for the online students on BU's WebCT site.
