• Solve small programming tasks in Java using simple data types, arrays,
  loops, methods, classes, and objects.
  
• Implement programs with simple input/output.
  
• Implement programs with simple Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs).
  
• Use selected class libraries. Therefore, you should be able to characterize the functionality of a Java class based on its documentation.
  
• Structure programs using the notions of inheritance, interfaces, method
  signatures, and exceptions.
  

• Variables, types, and values
  
• Expressions, statements, loops, and methods
  
• Recursion
  
• Arrays and Strings
  
• Classes and objects
  
• Class hierarchies, inheritance, and interfaces
  
• Exceptions
  
• Graphical user interfaces
  

14 weeks of teaching consisting of lectures and exercises. In the lectures, the students will be presented with the terminology of programming, and through many examples (written from scratch at the lectures) become familiar with the thought process needed for programming. At the exercises, the students will write their own small programs, applying what they have learned in the lectures. Each week includes a mandatory hand-in, which consists of a simple programming assignment, training the student in writing code on their own, which is a needed skill for the final 24 hour take home exam. 

The assignment for the production, to be submitted as a part of the examination, is released 24 hours before the submission deadline.

The submission is to be done in learnIT.
Please note, that the productions may be subjected to a test for plagiarism.


The duration of the oral examination is 30 minutes. The mark (grade) is given on the basis of the oral examination and the production.
