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.
