Aims

The aim is to introduce students to the basics of object-oriented programming in the Java environment. Students will also learn how to use design patterns and unit tests and create a simple graphical user interface.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

  • Elaboration of homeworks and the project.
  • The evaluation includes a defense of the project.

Recommended optional programme components

Not applicable.
