Unit aim
This units builds on the object-oriented programming features learned in pre-requisite units by looking at advanced object-oriented concepts and their application in a modern API. By learning a modern API students will learn how to apply the concepts as well as understanding their technical makeup.
Unit content
-
Classes
-
Inheritance and polymorphism
-
Abstract classes and interfaces
-
Generics
-
Collections and data structures
-
JavaFX as a example API using Java features
-
Parallel programming
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
