Course Description

CSI 1012 - Object Oriented Programming

This course introduces the concepts of object-oriented programming to students with a background in the procedural paradigm. Taught using the Java programming language. The course begins with a review of control structures and data types with emphasis on structured data types and array processing. It then moves on to introduce the object-oriented programming paradigm, focusing on the definition and use of classes along with the fundamentals of object-oriented design. Additional topics may include overview of simple analysis of algorithms, basic searching and sorting techniques, and an introduction to software engineering issues.
Prerequisite: CSI 1011 with a grade of C or better.
Credit Hours: 4

Additional Resources

For continuity with CSI 1011, we shall begin by using the jGrasp IDE. This IDE is included with the CD that comes with your text. if your CD is missing, you may download and install jGrasp from here or copy it from the P:\Java folder on-campus. You will also need to install the JDK, which is also in the P:\Java folder, as well as on the CD.

When installing Java, be sure to install the Java JDK BEFORE installing jGrasp or Netbeans in order to ensure proper installation/operation.

As an alternate , we will be using NetBeans or possibly Eclipse as  the editor/compiler/debugger for this course. This decision is yet to be determined, however, both IDEs are free of charge.

Homework

Homework is posted online in Blackboard .

There shall be about 8 Homework assignments for this course, each worth 100 points.

Homework for this course usually include a hands-on programming section to give you experience programming in Java and a short answer section (true/false, multiple choice) to reinforce principles that are not necessarily covered in the programming work. You are usually given 1.5 weeks to complete the entire assignment.

Topic Schedule

This schedule is tentative and subject to change.
