| Course Objectives | This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Java, covering its history, features, and applications. Students will learn Java programming basics, including syntax, variables, control flow, methods, and arrays. The course also delves into object-oriented programming concepts such as classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and interfaces. Additionally, students will explore advanced topics like exception handling, file handling, multithreading, event handling, generics, JDBC for database connectivity, and GUI programming with Swing. | |||
| Course Learning Outcomes (CLO) After completing this course, the learner will be able to: | CLO-1. Understand Java’s background, features, and apply fundamental programming concepts including variables, operators, control flow, methods, and arrays.
CLO-2 Master object-oriented programming principles including classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, and packaging in Java. CLO-3 Gain proficiency in handling exceptions, working with files, implementing multithreading, and utilizing Java Collections for efficient data management. CLO-4 Explore and utilize advanced Java features such as generics, lambda expressions, JDBC for database connectivity, and GUI programming with JavaFX or Swing. |
