- Key objectives include understanding types of programming languages, object-technology principles, Java development environments, writing simple Java applications, and using different output statements.
Instructor Information
- Instructor: Dr. Hafiz Farooq Ahmad, PhD from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan.
- Office Hours: Sunday and Wednesday.
- Extensive experience in software engineering and project recognition.
Importance of Java
- Java became free in 2019 under Oracle license, promoting widespread adoption.
- It is platform-independent, allowing applications to run on various systems without modification.
- Notable community support and a rich ecosystem of APIs and frameworks enhance Java's usability.
- Java is a strong choice for mobile app development.
- Certified Java professionals tend to earn higher salaries compared to non-certified individuals.
Java Certifications
- Key certifications include:
- Certified Java Associate
- Certified Java Programmer
- Certified Java Developer
- Certification can lead to better job opportunities and earnings.
Course Structure
- Emphasizes Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
- Assessment comprises quizzes (10%), assignments (10%), lab work (20%), mid-term (20%), and final exam (40%).
Introduction to Java
- Java is the most widely used programming language globally, essential for controlling hardware through software commands.
- Focuses on object-oriented programming methodology, emphasizing the creation and manipulation of software objects.
- The language is critical for enterprise-level programming and networked applications, known for the motto “write once, run anywhere.”
Java Development Environment
- Java Class Libraries consist of Java APIs, enabling access to existing classes and methods.
- Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as Eclipse, NetBeans, jGRASP, DrJava, and BlueJ provide essential tools for coding and debugging.
- High-level Java instructions must be converted to machine code, a process managed by compilers.
Java Execution Model
- JVM (Java Virtual Machine) interprets Java bytecode, making it understandable to various processors.
- The JVM is platform-independent and available for free online.
Writing Your First Java Program
- Applications are executed via the Java command that launches the JVM.
- Comments in Java allow for documentation without affecting execution, using
//
for single-line comments and/* ... */
for multi-line comments.
Class Declaration in Java
- Every Java program requires at least one class; the
class
keyword introduces a class declaration. - Class names typically begin with a capital letter and may contain letters, digits, underscores, and dollar signs while being case-sensitive.
Code Readability
- Utilization of whitespace (blank lines, spaces, and tabs) promotes program readability, as these elements are ignored by the compiler.
- Javadoc comments enable the integration of documentation within the code for easier readability and maintenance.
