Advanced Programming

Academic year: 2015/2016, 2nd semester

Goal of the course: This course will provide students with advanced techniques in Java. In particular, students will acquire knowledge in the overall architecture and components of Java SDK and JRE, use of advanced programming techniques (e.g., multi-threads, reading/writing streams, XML writing and reading, generics, regular expressions, exception handling and testing) and code documentation (e.g. generate API) of the software developed.

Prerequisites Students are familiar with basic knowledge of object oriented programming and Java. This material is taught in the following undergraduate courses:
Introduction to Programming
