Prerequisites
PB006 Princ. of Prog Lang. and OOP && ! PB112 Foundations of OOP in Java && ! NOW( PB112 Foundations of OOP in Java )
This course builds on the knowledge of PB006 Principles of Programming Languages and OOP and is primarily intended for Bachelor's degree programs in Informatics (INF) and Programming and Development (PD). For students of other programs, students from other faculties, and students of minor versions of INF and PD, a new PB112 course has been created.

Abstract
During this course, students:
gain the basic knowledge of object oriented programming in Java;
become familiar with the basic Java and OO terminology, as well as necessary language syntax and semantics rules;
be able to analyze, design and implement simple software solutions with the appropriate tools.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
explain and use principles of object paradigm in practice;
use basic principles of object-oriented design for coding;
create programs on the Java SE platform;
use development tools efficiently, e.g., IDE, unit tests, git, etc.;
Key topics

  • Static variables and methods, immutable objects, nested classes
  • Interfaces.
  • Inheritance, polymorphism, class hierarchy, program architecture; abstract classes.
  • Object identity and comparison; hash functions; collections and maps.
  • Records, lambda expressions, anonymous classes.

Approaches, practices, and methods used in teaching
Lectures with many examples, project-oriented lab sessions, homeworks.
Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements
In the semester, the students will work on a practical project, gaining points for regular submission of project iterations. Other points can be obtained for activities in seminars. The submission of two homework assignments and their acceptance by the instructor are required prerequisites for successful completion of the course. Not only is functionality evaluated, but also efficiency, object decomposition, and quality of documentation. The final exam has the form of a practical programming and a multiple-choice test. The final assessment reflects the sum of the obtained points.
