Prerequisites
!( PB162 Java ) && ! NOW( PB162 Java )
Ability to program in one of the common universal languages (C, Python, JavaScript...). PB162 is a similar course designed primarily for single-subject Informatics programs. Graduates of PB162 may have PB112 recognized (if they have also graduated from PB006).

Course objectives
The aim of the course is to build knowledge of the basic principles of creating object-oriented programs according to current trends. The principles are illustrated in Java with a focus on practical applicability even outside the domain of computer science.
Learning outcomes
During the course the student:
- gains basic knowledge of modern object-oriented programming in Java;
- can build a small-scale application in Java based on the given requirements using contemporary development tools;
- can use ready-made libraries designed for solving problems in his/her domain of expertise in programming;
- can read and modify foreign program code of small to medium size;
Syllabus
  • Introduction to the Java language, basic development tools, source code, translation, execution.
  • Basic concepts of object-oriented programming, cooperation between objects.
  • Interface and its implementation by class.
  • Unit testing of Java programs.
  • Inheritance, program architecture.
  • Primitive and object data types and data structures, arrays.
  • Working with exceptions, handling non-standard situations at runtime.
  • Inputs and outputs.
  • Using Java in application domains - information systems, data processing, scientific computing, modeling.

Teaching methods
lectures with live illustration of programming procedures, exercises with ongoing work on the semester project and feedback, home preparation
Assessment methods
During the semester, students work on a project that is scored consecutively. They are evaluated on the completion of the assignment, functionality of the solution and quality of documentation. In addition, there are two practical tests during the semester based on programming directly at the computer. The final exam, which is more comprehensive than the previous two, is also conducted in a practical form at the computer.
