CIT 111 - Introduction to Programming: Java

 
Description
This course is an introduction to program design, analysis and programming fundamentals using the Java language. Topics include the software development process, problem solving techniques, simple language basics, data representation and storage, program control structures, classes and their methods.

1. Use a Java integrated development environment (IDE) to design and implement applications on a computer.
2. Apply basic problem-solving techniques to novel situations that are relatively similar to models introduced in the course.
3. Use various data types by implementing them in the correct operations.
4. Create simple graphical user interfaces (GUI) using Swing JOptionPane components.
5. Use control structures in a Java application.
6. Utilize class methods found in the Java application programming interface (API).

1. Computer systems and environments including computer organization, programming languages and object oriented programming
2. Writing, compiling and executing Java programs using an IDE
3. Problem solving strategies using pseudocode and flowchart diagrams
4. Program errors and debugging
5. Program language variables, data types, arithmetic operators and simple Input/Output
6. Implicit and explicit type casting
7. Program control structures using relational/logical operators to form Boolean expressions, decision (if/if-else) and iteration (while, for loops)
8. Methods, parameter passing and return types
9. Classes and objects
