Aims

The course will develop the necessary skills for the development of object-oriented applications using the Java programming language. Students will learn from formative assessments and demonstrate the skills required to engineer Java-based software applications from initial specification, through to implementation, testing and documentation.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Explain the use of object-oriented principles in the design of software applications.
2.
Use advanced object-oriented principles to specify and design software applications.
3.
Implement object-oriented designs using the Java programming language.
4.
Test and document Java-based applications.
5.
Critically evaluate the use of object-oriented development techniques.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
Foundations of object-orientation.
Anatomy of Java classes fields, constructors, methods.
Objects and classes what is an object, object state, objects as parameters. Object interaction method invocation, objects calling objects.
Designing classes responsibility-driven design.
Application structures inheritance, subtyping, polymorphism. Abstraction techniques simulation, abstract classes, interfaces. Handling errors defensive programming, exceptions.
Designing applications analysis and design, class design, documentation, group cooperation.
Case Study design of a chosen application.
Java-based user-interfaces AWT and Swing APls
Additional Information:
The module lectures, tutorials and labs will use the BLUEJ development tool, which is a GUI-based development aid loosely based on UML.
