HCSE 224 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
Tutor: Ruvinga Email: [email protected] Contact: +263775936673
Overview
The module equips students with application experience of Object-Oriented (OO) principles
using an Object Oriented Programming (OOP) programming language Java. Students will be
exposed to generic programming concepts, use of packages, input/output (IO) streams and
exception handling techniques.
Prerequisite
Nil
Purpose
Equip students with application experience of Object-Oriented (OO) principles of
inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism.
Instructional objectives
To learn OO principles
To build, test and debug object oriented solutions.
To master use of collections Application Programming Interface (API) and other generic
programming principles
To implement input and output streams in programs.
To learn how to properly utilize the OOP exception handling mechanism.
To implement sound Graphical User Interface (GUI) and database applications.
