Course Description
This is a first course in computer science, using Java, an object
oriented programming (OOP) language.
 You do not need to have experience with Java, but some
basic knowledge of some programming language is
required.
 In this course, we will study the fundamentals of computer
programming ... one of the towering intellectual
achievements of the 20th century. Students design, code,
and debug programs using Java as we explore object
oriented programming (OOP) concepts.
 We will explore GUI (Graphics and events) to write
programs with graphics support (developing simple games)

Why learn programming continued…?
The purpose of this course is to teach you about computing,
but particularly, programming in Java (a powerful, widelyused programming language).
Why care about programming?
•Growing field with great opportunity (read: $$$$)
•Creative & Challenging
•Programming is fun (Developing Games for example)
•Enabling/Empowering, creative and innovative technology
programming is becoming an interdisciplinary field, involving many
fields such as:
 Graphics,film, animation, Art, Games, music, movies,
biology, math, physics, networking, Artificial intelligence,
etc..

Course Description, continued!
The goal is not to teach you everything in the Java
language, but to have you become competent Java
programmers.
 Programming is not easy and becoming a good
programmer is a learning process.
It needs:
 patience,
logical thinking,
 lots of practice
and the willingness to seek out help when necessary

or exam.
• Please note that If you are caught cheating, you will receive an
immediate FAILURE for the course.
• Copying ideas, text or a line of code (segment) from an
