MS 2773 - Java for Web Design

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This hands-on course is designed for experienced programmers that want to learn Java. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: learn the basics of creating Java applets and applications; create object-oriented programs using Java; incorporate graphics, sound and event handling; use multiple threads to create animations; and understand and use inheritance and polymorphism properly. (prereq: MS 2771  or equivalent object-oriented programming language experience)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Develop both text-based and windows-based applications that demonstrate the sound use of object-oriented design principles and programming practices
  • Use components from standard libraries to design interactive windows-based programs
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the Java delegation event model
  • Understand the principles of multi-threading and how to protect shared data from “race conditions”
  • Understand the algorithms and data structures that are present in the Java Collections API
  • Develop an appreciation for the use of design patterns in the construction of complex, object-oriented systems
