This course provides an introduction to object oriented software development using the Java programming language. Emphasis is placed on translating written problem descriptions into robust software solutions. Topics covered include Java program structure, algorithmic problem solving and modularization, I/O statements, control constructs, looping techniques, class libraries, user defined classes and methods, and arrays. (prereq: none) (2-2-3)

On successful completion of this course, the student will:

• Design and document an algorithmic solution for a given problem statement.
• Design and implement simple Java programs.
• Make appropriate use of conditionals and loops in Java programs.
• Design and implement simple classes.
• Use existing Java class libraries.
• Test and debug code.

The above course description and goals were taken from the official course description.
