This repository contains course materials, including notes, code examples, and assignments for the **Fundamental of Java Programming ** course.
This course is designed to introduce students to the basic concepts and techniques of programming. It covers major aspects of software development, including the use of flowcharts, pseudocode, and NS Diagrams. A significant portion of the course is dedicated to preparing students for object-oriented programming and more advanced Java programming concepts. The primary goal is to equip students with the fundamental skills needed to develop meaningful and effective programs.
This course is structured into the following key topics:
| Week | Topic | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.0 Overview of Computer and Programming | Introduction to computers (then and now), hardware, software, and the software development method. |
| 2 | 2.0 Designing Algorithm I | Introduction to algorithms, steps in creating algorithms, and using NS Diagrams and decision tables. Lab: Designing NS Diagrams and decision tables using tools. |
| 3 | 3.0 Designing Algorithm II | Focus on designing algorithms with pseudocode and flowcharts, including selection and repetition structures. Lab: Designing flowcharts using drawing tools. |
| 4 | 4.0 Overview of Java | Introduction to Java language elements, variable declarations, data types, and executable statements. Lab: Introduction to the Java language and running a simple program. |
| 5 | 5.0 Data Types, Operators, and Simple Functions | Understanding data types, arithmetic expressions, writing mathematical formulas in Java, and using library functions. |
| 6 | 6.0 Selection and Repetitive Structures | Implementing selection structures (if-else, switch) and repetitive structures (while, for) in Java. |
The final grade is based on a combination of continuous assessment and a final examination.
This course will help you develop the following transferable skills:
- Cognitive Skills
- Digital Skills
- A foundational understanding of Introduction to Information Technology is required.
