Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Object-Oriented Programming in Java. Use of class libraries in Java for object collections, simple graphical components, advanced graphical components, client-server programming and threads. UML class diagrams.

Design patterns for object-oriented software development.

Criteria for good design. Testing and test driven software development.

Orientation in object-oriented analysis.

Orientation in common development methodologies.

Laboratory sessions in Java that all are documented with UML class diagrams.

Intended learning outcomes

After completion of the course, the student should be able to:

  • account for object-oriented concepts and technologies as loose coupling, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, and use them in your own programming,
  • describe and apply criteria for good object-oriented design
  • recognise and explain common design patterns in object-oriented software development as well as choose appropriate patterns for simple applications
  • draw UML class diagrams that in a clear and legible way document your own programming work,
  • interpret and explain UML class diagrams,
  • use advanced language elements in Java, such as exceptions, threads, graphical components, object collections and web programming in your own programming work,
  • explain the structure and function of the elements of the language,
  • explain and apply test driven software development

in order to:

  • be prepared to participate in software development projects,
  • be able to work with software development in Java.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

  • Knowledge and skills in programming, 6 credits, corresponding to completed course DD1310/DD1311/DD1312/DD1314/DD1315/DD1316/DD1318/DD1331/DD1337/DD100N/ID1018. 
  • Knowledge and skills in computer science, 6 credits, corresponding to completed course DD1320/DD1321/DD1325/DD1327/DD1338/DD2325/ID1020.

Active participation in a course offering where the final examination is not yet reported in Ladok is considered equivalent to completion of the course.

Registering for a course is counted as active participation.

The term 'final examination' encompasses both the regular examination and the first re-examination.

Recommended prerequisites

Java programming corresponding to DD1380/DD2310 Java programming for Python programmers or DD1337 Programming.
