Overall Course Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Take a “real-life” problem and abstract out the pertinent aspects necessary to solve it.
  • Formulate formal solutions to well-defined problems using the logic of a programming language.
  • Implement formal solutions in Java using an integrated development environment.
  • Have an understanding of the basics of data abstraction using the object-oriented framework.
