Why take this course?

Learn industry-level programming skills, coding standards and best practices. Become confident in writing software on programming languages, including Java & Python. The aim of this course is to introduce you to the concepts of object-oriented programming.  It extends prior knowledge of the principles of data structures and application design and furthers technical competence in implementing various computing artefacts.

Ireland’s reputation as a centre of Software excellence is unrivalled in Europe. It is home to over 900 Software companies, including both multinational and indigenous firms, employing 24,000 people and generating €16 billion of exports annually.

You will gain practical skills in Python and Java using the programming language and it will equip you to have the skills and knowledge to tackle complex programming problems, making good use of the object-oriented programming paradigm to simplify the design and implementation process.

What will I study?

You will be introduced to a number of fundamental data structures and program designs and their applications in software development. You will develop the skills required to work effectively using Object-Oriented Programming in Python and Java.

You will gain a solid theoretical understanding of, as well as practical skills in, object-oriented programming.

Principles of Object-Oriented Programming

  • Class, Object, and Instances.
  • Attributes and Methods.
  • Basic OOP principles: Abstraction, Encapsulation, Polymorphism.
  • Relationship between the classes, class hierarchies. Derived and Inherited classes.
  • Packages and interfaces.
  • Data structures, iterators and containers.

Libraries and Data Structures

  • Data structures: arrays and lists, hash tables.
  • IO and streams.
  • Threads.
  • Exception handling and debugging code.
  • System and utility libraries.

Testing and Debugging

  • Black Box.
  • White Box & stress testing.
  • Unit testing.
  • Integration testing Manual walk-throughs.

Exceptions Handling

  • Definitions.
  • Exception class hierarchy.
  • Unhandled exceptions.
  • Catching/Throwing exceptions.
  • Finally clause.
  • The call stack.
  • Saving data to a file.
  • File input and output.

Object-Oriented Applications Design

  • Introduction to Object-Oriented software development and design.
  • Object Relation Mapping.
  • Roles of Classes in Software Engineering.
  • Program design: Inheritance versus composition.
  • Java platform and variants.
