Course Description

This course provides a strong foundation to understand what is possible in Java, through lecture and hands-on experience in designing and creating solutions using Java best practices.

The Java platform, language, tools, and runtime environment will be taught and used to create object-oriented solutions to realistic problems. An overview of potential architectures, with demonstrations of desktop, web apps and Android applications helps give context.

Syntax is taught while students create simple applications to create, read, update and delete data in memory and write to files and databases. Students learn how to leverage core Java SE classes such as those in important packages: java.lang, java.util, java.time, java.sql. Common pitfalls are taught to be avoided, and common misconceptions about memory and object are explained. The use of interfaces and anonymous inner classes is taught – along with Java 1.8 lambda expressions for functional programming. Approaches to Object Oriented design is taught to help students design custom classes and interfaces. Design patterns are emphasized throughout the course. Practice with JUnit for Test Driven Development is also covered.

Finally, the course demonstrates moving beyond Intro to Java, with overviews of multi-threaded programming, Streams API, dependency management with Maven projects, Java 1.9 features, web applications and architecture, and a short introduction to REST-based architecture using Spring Boot.
