This is a hands-on course on the Java programming language using the Java Development Kit (JDK), and the use of Java to reinforce the use of object-oriented approach to solve real problems. A general understanding of object- oriented programming concepts is also presented. IT 524 covers more advanced features of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC), distributed programming using the Remote Method Invocation (RMI), CORBA, and the Java Native Interface (JNI) for interfacing Java programs with applications written using some other language such as C, as well as Java security. Topics include Java and Object- Oriented Programming; Language Basics; Java Classes and Objects; Java Statements; Exceptions; Java Threads; Swing Programming; Java Packages; Java File I/O; Distributed Applications; Persistence and Remote Method Invocation; Database Connectivity (JDBC); Java Native Interface; Java Security Model.

CONTENT
OBJECTIVE
Understanding Object Oriented Programming basics and developing Object oriented java applications
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Learning outcomes are: Upon completion of this class, students should be able to: Understand the concept of OOP as well as the purpose and usage principles of inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation and method overloading. Identify classes, objects, members of a class and the relationships among them needed for a speci?c problem. Create Java application programs using soundOOPpractices (e.g., interfaces andAPIs) and proper program structuring (e.g., by using access control identi?es, automatic documentation through comments, error exception handling) Use testing and debugging tools to automatically discover errors of Java programs as well as use versioning tools for collaborative programming/editing. Develop programs using the Java Collection API as well as the Java standard class library Create GUI based applications Create database applications
