INF1000 - Introduction to object-oriented programming

Course content

An introduction to object-oriented programming in Java; development of algorithms, including use of arrays and other kinds of tables; user interface and file handling. Several central mechanisms of object-oriented programming will be covered, including use of classes, objects and references; cooperating objects created from a few classes; use of Java's class library. UML modeling of small systems. Social aspects of IT; privacy laws.

Learning outcomes

After having completed this course, the students will be capable of developing their own Java programs based on a simple problem description. They will have suffucient knowledge and understanding of the Java class library to find required information themselves. They are expected to reach a level of competence enabling them to easily learn other, similar programming languages.
