Aims |
|
1. To allow students to develop practical experience in implementing software in the context of the Java object-oriented programming language. 2. To allow students to acquire the skills needed to interpret customer requirements from a programmer's perspective. 3. To provide students with an understanding of how to programme with a view to future software maintenance. 4. To provide students with a good understanding of the programming techniques involved in creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). 5. To provide students with an understanding of the more advanced features of programming such as multithreading. |
