More than the processor inside, it is the software running on a computer that determines the machine's behavior and usefulness. In this course, students will learn principles of design, implementation, and testing of object-oriented programs. Using the Java programming language, we will cover fundamental concepts including classes, objects, message sending, control structures, arrays, files, and event-driven programming, as well as providing an introduction to concurrency. Through the study of these topics, students will learn both to construct programs of their own and to understand the capabilities and limitations of existing software. No previous programming experience is required or assumed. Students with prior experience with object-oriented programming should discuss appropriate course placement with members of the department. Evaluation will be based on assigned programs and exams. Prerequisites: Mathematics 100 or 101 (or demonstrating proficiency in the Quantitative Studies diagnostic test-see catalog under Mathematics). Enrollment limit: 60 (30 per section); expected: 60 (30 per section).
