• Participants will gain understanding and appreciation of OOP as natural extension of OOAD. Participants will see the strengths of OO paradigm over other programming paradigms. Object-oriented programming paradigm is explained practically.
  

• Participants learn about underlying technologies supporting Java programming language and its portability. Participants will see how a basic Java program can be written that interactively prompts for input, process and display outputs.

• Participants will see how objects are utilized in a Java console program to perform computing tasks. Comparison with primitive data types are made. Participants will learn how to form expressions to solve problems.

• Participants see the modularization of codes in units called methods. Participants will learn how to declare, define and call a method. Participants will see variety of ways to define a method and advantages of each. Participants will learn how to develop methods in object scope and class scope to understand how the difference impact the data and problem solving.

Decision constructs 

• Participants will learn how to use decision constructs to solve problem programmatically.

Array 

• Participants will see the advantages of using array in Java and to capitalize from enhanced control structure with array.

Looping constructs 

• Participants will learn how to use looping constructs to solve problem programmatically. Examples of looping elements in array and enumerated data type are demonstrated.

File I/O 

• Participants will learn how to store and retrieve data from file.

Creating GUI application in Java Swing 

• Participants will learn how to create GUI applications in Java.

Hands-on Project 

• Building an application with DB back-end.

Assessments: 

• Group assignments/discussions, pre- & summative tests and a mini project
