Software Development with Java

Aims

The course will develop the necessary skills for the development of object-oriented applications using the Java programming language. Students will learn from formative assessments and demonstrate the skills required to engineer Java-based software applications from initial specification, through to implementation, testing and documentation.

Learning Outcomes

After completing the module the student should be able to:

1 Explain the use of object-oriented principles in the design of software applications.

2 Use advanced object-oriented principles to specify and design software applications.

3 Implement, as part of a team, object-oriented designs using the Java programming language.

4 Test and document, as part of a team, Java-based applications.

5 Critically evaluate the use of object-oriented development techniques.
