Course Description

This course provides an in-depth introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP) principles and their implementation using the Java programming language. This course covers the different concepts of object-oriented programming such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, encapsulation, exception handling, multithreading collections, generics, file handling and advanced concept of OOP. The course emphasizes both theoretical understanding and hands-on programming skills.

Course Objectives

The main objective of this course is to provide students both the theoretical foundation and practical knowledge of programming using Java. After the completion of the course, students will be able to: understand OOP principles and implement them in Java; install java compiler and IDE, compilation and run of java program; design and develop Java applications using classes, objects, and interfaces; use exception handling, collections, and generics and file I/O in real-world programs; apply Advanced OOP concept (Design pattern, Lambda, Streams API) for efficient coding; build a small-scale Java project using OOP best practices.
