COMP111 - Introduction to Computer Science & Object-Oriented Programming

Description:
This course provides an introduction to software construction using an object-oriented approach. The student learns and reflects on problem analysis, object-oriented design, implementation, and testing. To support the concepts and principles of software construction, the student will design, code, test, debug, and document programs using the Java programming language. Basic data types, control structures, methods, and classes are used as the building blocks for reusable software components. Automated unit testing, programming style, and industrial practice are emphasized in addition to the object-oriented techniques of abstraction, encapsulation, and composition.

Outcomes:

• Apply the object-oriented principles of encapsulation, composition, and abstraction to analyze problems and design solutions
• Use classes, objects, and methods to implement object-oriented designs in Java
• Identify and use appropriate data types and control structures within class and method implementations
• Incrementally test and document implementations using industry accepted approaches
• Discuss relationships between the disparate topic areas addressed in this course
