MODULE DESCRIPTION (1/2) § This module introduces the fundamental concepts of programming from an object-oriented perspective, and is perceived as the first and foremost introductory course to computing. § It is the first of a two-part series on introductory programming, which also includes CS 1102 (Data Structures and Algorithms). © CS 1101 (AY 2009 -2010 Semester 1) Welcome - 7

COURSE DESCRIPTION (2/2) § Topics covered include: overview of programming languages and compilation process, objects, classes, methods, fundamental programming constructs (variables, types, expressions, assignments, message passing, etc. ), fundamental data structures: arrays, strings, input/output, exception handling, use of APIs and class libraries, debugging and testing. § Note: Basic recursion, inheritance and polymorphism have been removed from the syllabus. They may be covered as non-examinable topics. § Module activities include lectures, discussion sessions and laboratory exercises. © CS 1101 (AY 2009 -2010 Semester 1) Welcome - 8

OBJECTIVES § Learning about programming methodology and principles, using the object-oriented model. § Outcomes: § Know how to solve simple algorithmic problems. § Know how to write good small programs. § JAVA is merely a tool. § Of course we teach Java but not Java alone! § Other language-independent and transferrable skills: logical thinking, writing algorithms, testing and debugging your programs, etc. © CS 1101 (AY 2009 -2010 Semester 1) Welcome - 9
