• Solve small programming tasks in Java using simple data types, arrays,
  loops, methods, classes, and objects.
  
• Implement programs with simple input/output.
  
• Use selected class libraries. Therefore, you should be able to characterize the functionality of a Java class based on its documentation.
  

• Variables, types, and values
  
• Expressions, statements, loops, and methods
  
• Arrays and Strings
  
• Classes and objects
  
• Recursion
  

This is a net based course, meaning that the teaching method includes teaching via the Internet, studying at home and seminars at the IT University on 6 (six) Saturdays. The dates are:

5 February from 8:30 - 13:30
12 February from 8:30 - 13:30
5 March from 8:30 - 13:30
12 March from 8:30 - 13:30
16 April from 8:30 - 13:30
30 April from 8:30 - 13:30


It is very important that you carry out the practical programming tasks that are introduced on the course. Furthermore it is a prerequisite for participation in the final exam that a certain minimum number of mandatory assignments are approved (details will follow in the welcome letter sent to the students who register to the course).

The course requires active participation in the electronic forum used on the course.
This is the only communication form between the students and the teacher besides the 6 (six) seminars. It is our experience that students benefit a lot from this forum, because they are able to contact each other at 'odd hours' when the teaching staff is unavailable.
