Course Title: Java Programming

Course No. : ICT. Ed 455 Nature of course: Theoretical + Practical

1. Introduction:
This course covers different concepts of computer programming using Java programming language.
The course covers ideas of programming including comments, data type, operators, variables, constants,
control statements, arrays, classes and objects, inheritance and interfaces, packages, exception handling,
input/output, event handling, swing and JDBC.

2. Course Objectives:
After the completion of this course, the students should be able to:
• Explain the Java programming environment
• Describe the concepts of programming elements using Java and object-oriented programming
concepts
• Apply the exception handling and input/output in Java programming
• Apply the event handling, GUI programming using swing, and Java database connectivity

4. Instructional Techniques
The instructional techniques for this course are divided into two groups. First group consists of
general instructional techniques applicable to most of the units. The second group consists of specific
instructional techniques applicable to particular units.
4.1 General Techniques
Reading materials will be provided to students in each unit. Lecture, Discussion, use of multi-media
projector, brain storming are used in all units.
4.2 Specific Instructional Techniques
Demonstration is an essential instructional technique for all units in this course during teaching
learning process. Specifically, demonstration with practical works will be specific instructional
technique in this course. The details of suggested instructional techniques are presented below:
Laboratory Work: The laboratory work includes writing programs to understand all the programming
concepts of Java including data types, operators, control statements, objects and classes, inheritance,
interface, exception handling, input/output, event handling, swing and JDBC.
