OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

Course Description

The objective of Object Oriented Programming is to identify the classes (including attributes, behaviours and methods), objects and their relationships by reading the problem descriptions, draw objects diagrams by looking to the defined problem description, implement Java class by looking at the given UML Class Diagram, use existing industry standard coding and formatting conventions, event mechanisms in Java, construct a GUI based applications using Java and Eclipse and debug those applications, technically identify the differences between classes, objects, inheritances, polymorphism, interfaces, aggregation, composition and abstract class. In addition, the issues of code re-use and software quality will be discussed and the use of inheritance will be shown through for code re-use.
