Prerequisite(s): Because this is an online course in computer programming, it is important for the student to: have completed a basic computer literacy course (e.g., CIS 100, BIT 1150) or receive permission of instructor, work well independently, be self-motivated, be computer savvy and feel VERY comfortable getting around on the computer (words like FTP, bulletin board, and Real Player don?t sound foreign to you), and have the ability to troubleshoot their own computer problems. Any computer programming experience is helpful but not necessary. If you are unsure if this online course is for you, please contact your instructor. This course will cover the fundamental concepts of Object-Oriented Programming using Java. Topics will include objects, classes, constructors, methods, and instance variables. User Designed classes are implemented. Arrays and Array Processing are emphasized. Graphical User Interfaces are developed using Java. Applets are explained and implemented.
