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 CS1102 (Data Structures and Algorithms).

Welcome - 7© CS1101 (AY2009-2010 Semester 1)

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.

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.
