About the unit CITS2005 Object Oriented Programming (1st semester 2023)
Unit description:
This unit introduces the language and techniques needed to write well-structured programs using the object-oriented paradigm with the Java programming language. The focus of this unit is developing appropriate classes and methods to solve real-world problems. The unit also covers advanced topics including generics, the Java Platform, concurrency, serialization and exceptions. Appropriate software engineering principles and concepts are also discussed in the context of object-oriented design in Java.
Unit outcomes:
Students are able to (1) implement object-oriented design of solutions to real-world problems; (2) design Java programs using packages and classes with inheritance, generics, interfaces and abstract classes; (3) understand the use of multithreading for designing Java programs with concurrency; and (4) make effective use of software development practices to write, test, debug and document Java programs.
