Object-oriented Java programming
This module teaches the fundamental ideas behind the object-oriented approach to programming through the widely used Java programming language. Concentrating on aspects of Java that best demonstrate object-oriented principles and good practice, you'll gain a solid basis for further study of the Java language and object-oriented software development. Some experience in writing computer programs is essential.
