Title of the course: Platform-independent programming: Java

Aim:

• To teach how to write programs and develop applications for various technologies, such as networks, the Web, and distributed computing, using Java.

Objectives:

• To enable the student to master the fundamental aspects of programming in Java
• To enable the student to develop strong, secure, reusable code in Java
• To enable the student to analyze, develop, and design applications for different environments (networks, stand-alone applications, Web,) using Java.

USP:

• This course explains the basic programming elements of Java, using actual program examples, and reinforces through numerous examples.
• Numerous examples and guided exercises provide the student a variegated exposure to Java programs.
• Through a real, live project, a Java application for maintaining a college intranet is developed. It gives the student hands-on experience in developing Java applications.
• The latest version of Java (Java 2.0) is used to teach how to develop applications for many of the most recent technologies, such as distributed computing and the Web.

Description:

This is a 70-hour course and contains 8 concepts. It starts with the fundamental aspects and takes the student to the level of designing and developing applications in Java.
